Welcome to March PHS Parents and Guardians,
I say this every single month, but I cannot
believe we have started spring sports, teachers are preparing mid-semester
grades, and thinking about spring break.
This weather does not make me think of spring break, but it is typical
Idaho spring weather for this sports’ season.
These next three weeks are going to fly by and
then we will be talking about April events.
The Business Professionals of America
organization with have their State Leadership Conference in Boise on March 7,
8, and 9, 2019. This year we are taking
about 45 students to this conference.
Thank you to Mr. Ritzman, all the parent chaperones, and students for
all their work getting to this State level competition. Excellent work BPA and good luck next week!
On March 12th, there will be a
school-wide College and Career Field Trip.
Each grade level will have the opportunity to visit both a local
academic collegiate program as well as a local Career Technical Program. 9th and 10th grade
classes will visit BSU and CWI programs; 11th grade will visit BSU
and ISU Medical Arts program; 12th grade will visit ISU Medical Arts
program and then come back to PHS for senior activities and meetings. This is a wonderful opportunity for all
students of PHS to visit both an academic and career technical program in here
in the Treasure Valley.
On March 15th, teachers will have a workday
to finalize mid-semester grades. We have
spring break March 25th through March 29th. Since
we had Parent-Teacher Conferences in February, we will have a full week of
school the week prior to spring break.
I would like to remind you that April and May
are very important months with all the different testing dates occurring. In April, there will be the ISATs for the
sophomores, the SAT testing day at PHS for our juniors, and the seniors are
working diligently on all their different scholarship applications and
preparing for their next chapter after high school. Attendance is vital during the next three
months with all these very important activities on our school calendar.
Finally, as we head into the last three months
of school, please take some time to review with your student the student handbook. There are a few policies that I would especially
appreciate you reviewing. Those policies
are the electronic device policy on page 18, the student responsibilities
policy on page 24, and the dress code policy on page 25. Teachers will be
reviewing these with students as well, but I always find that if parents are
reminding students at home, we have better success here at school. Thank you for helping in this matter.
As always, if you have any questions regarding
any of this information please feel free to contact me at the high school
office at 208-779-4069 option #4.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Monique Jensen
Parma High School Principal
