Dear Parma High School Parents and
Guardians,
Thanksgiving vacation is upon us, which
means we only have four weeks left in the semester! I can’t believe how quickly the fall has
flown by. Next week we only have two
days of school. Tuesday we will have our
National Honor Society Tapping Assembly and Induction Ceremony. When we come back from Thanksgiving Vacation
the FFA Chapter will be holding our annual food drive where all the food
donated will help our local Sunshine Cupboard.
Please encourage all your students to participate to help this wonderful
local program.
Our goal is that every student enjoys
coming to school and attends school regularly.
We are in our thirteenth week of school, and I wanted to follow up on
conversations we are having at school as we near the end of this first semester
about the importance of attendance.
Regular attendance is not only a life skill, but also vital in making
sure students do not miss instruction, class work, and tests.
Finals will be December 17-20. This next month before finals week is a
critical time for student attendance.
Please help encourage your student to attend school, and limit appointments
to before or after school.
A change that will be made this year is
that students will not be able to take early finals. Finals need to be taken on the day of the
exam. If there are extenuating
circumstances that merit special testing time, please contact me in advance so
we can make arrangements to test after the winter break.
Additionally, if students know they are
going to be gone for longer than two days, they need to arrange this with the
office and their teachers. Pre-arranged
absence forms can be picked up at the office.
Parent/guardians must call the school to set this up at least one week
prior to the pre-arranged absence.
Students will also be required to get teacher permission.
Finally, I would like to let you know
that we are still working on the student and parent portal of the Tyler SIS
program on how you view grades. When you
are viewing grades in the Tyler SIS portal, the “P1” column contains the
current, in progress grade. If you would
like to view more detailed information, click the plus sign (+) under “More”,
then click “Assignments”.
Thank you for your help in making sure
your child is successful at Parma High School.
Please contact us at 208-779-4069 option #4 with any questions you may
have.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Monique Jensen
