Registration Timeline and Informational Events
We are pleased with the results of our Scheduling Information Fair. This kicked off to the scheduling process for the 17-18 school year. Your child will be getting more detailed information in the upcoming scheduling presentations.
The following events and informational sessions have been designed to assist students and parents with the process of scheduling courses for next year! The registration process will conclude on February 20th. The school counselors will be in classrooms and the Lecture Hall assisting students, answering questions, and helping students with the online registration process.
Please be patient as the school counselor’s experience high volumes of emails during this time and may not respond as quickly as you would like. If you need assistance with scheduling, parents should talk first with their student and we recommend having the student see a counselor at school with questions or for assistance. Please keep in mind, if you attempt to contact a counselor during the next three weeks, our first priority will be spending time with students working with them directly to complete their registration process. The best way to resolve any scheduling issues is to have your student see us at school. The school counselors welcome parents to come in and meet with the on a walk-in basis between 8am and 2pm February 13-17! Counselors will be in the Lecture Hall.

Start With Hello - Feb. 6-10
PHSN will be honoring the memory of the Sandy Hook School shootings by participating in the Sandy Hook Promise Start With Hello Campaign.
Social isolation is the overwhelming feeling of being left out, lonely, or treated like you are invisible. As a result, many further pull away from society, struggle with learning and social development and/or choose to hurt themselves or others. Start With Hello teaches students, grades 2-12, the skills they need to reach out to and include those who may be dealing with chronic social isolation and create a culture of inclusion and connectedness within their school or youth organization.
