Message from Mr. Ulbrich
Dear Panther Students and Parents/Guardians,
It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome you to the 2017-2018 school year. The custodial staff, teachers and office personnel have been diligently working over the summer months in preparation for what should be an outstanding year. Our mission at PHSN is to create an environment that is Respectful, Responsible, Inclusive and Safe. We look forward to working with you and your child this school year.
To the incoming Freshman Class of 2021, I say welcome! As our class of 2018 knows, your high school years will go quickly. I would like to challenge all of our students to set goals and become involved here at PHSN. We are fortunate to have many opportunities for our students to represent our school and community academically, artistically and athletically. Make it a goal to be involved at PHSN.
I encourage you to visit the district’s website at www.pickerington.k12.oh.us for important information. I will also send out a weekly “Message from the Principal” to review and update you on important events. Please visit your parent portal to ensure all directory information is up to date. You can also follow me on twitter @mr_ulbrich and on the Pickerington High School North Facebook page.
Enjoy the rest of your summer and we will see you on August 8th and 9th for Panther Welcome Days and August 16th for the first day of school.
Best Wishes,
Mark Ulbrich
Principal
BACK TO SCHOOL FORMS
In an effort to begin streamlining the process of parents filling out mandatory back to school forms, Pickerington Schools is launching an online system starting with fall.
This system will simplify the process of filling out required forms for your children, because much of the information will be automatically imported from Infinite Campus!
In order to introduce you to the system, we're starting with three mandatory forms -- the emergency medical form, student handbook acknowledgement, and a family information confirmation form.
In the upper grades, these forms must be completed (online or with paper copies) before schedule pickup.
For complete information, including instructions for creating your account and filling out forms, visit http://www.pickerington.k12.oh.us/back-to-school-2017/ and click on "Complete Your Family's Required Forms Online."

For complete information, including instructions for creating your account and filling out forms, visit http://www.pickerington.k12.oh.us/back-to-school-2017/ and click on "Complete Your Family's Required Forms Online."
Station 2: Schedule Pick-Up. Schedule pick-up station and obtain your class schedule for this school year. The schedule reflects the choices made by students during the registration process last year. Counselors will be on hand to help students fix EMERGENCY SCHEDULE QUESTIONS ONLY (e.g.: I’m a senior and I don’t have an English 12 class on my schedule or I’m a student athlete and I don’t have the required 5 classes on my schedule to be eligible, etc.).
Station 3: Fee Collection. You will be given your student fee bill at the time you pick up your schedule. Please feel free to go to the main office to pay your fees today. Our staff is able to accept cash, check, or credit card to pay your school fees. Paying fees today can help to avoid delays in report cards, transcripts, etc. that can be held for non-payment.
Station 4: Device Pick-up:
*Room 109: Chrome books for 9th and 10th graders
I-Pads for 11th and 12th graders
Station 5: That’s it…you’re done!! Feel free to explore the building to find your classrooms. Be sure to visit your locker and practice the combination.
***Note RE: Textbook distribution will occur through the classroom teacher once school begins. We will not distribute textbooks during Welcome Days this year.
