April Rovero of the National Coalition of Prescription Drug Abuse and the Naloxone Distribution Project will join the Piedmont Unified School District Nurses for an important discussion regarding prescription/illicit drug use and abuse, fentanyl awareness, and how to recognize and respond to an opioid overdose. Overdose rescue training utilizing the opioid-antagonist naloxone will be provided, and free naloxone will be given to adults at the conclusion of the training.

Cell Phone Task Force Update Cell Phone Task Force Update

zoom_out_map

On March 12, the Board heard the presentation from the District's Cell Phone Task Force. The Board considered 3 options:


  • Option 1: No PCD's during instructional time
  • Option 2: No PCD's except at lunch
  • Option 3: No PCD's bell-to-bell (all-day)


PCD: Personal Connect Device--any device that can send/receive data. This broadly includes, but is not limited to, cell phones, tablets, watches, glasses, and headphones/earbuds.


The Board provided direction to implement option 2 for the 2025-26 school year. The Board is also interested in movement towards Option 3 with continued discussion and follow-up next school year. The Cell Phone Task Force will reconvene in the fall to continue this important work.


The Board will adopt policy pursuant to this by June 30. The school will provide much more information as we develop guidelines, update handbooks, signage, and presentations to our student and parent community between now and the start of next school year.


Thank you to all the Task Force members who participated in the meetings and those that attended to the Board presentation.

Is your student considering joining the Football team for fall 2025? We invite parents to join us for a Zoom presentation on May 15th at 8 pm. We hope that this meeting will help with your family’s decision-making process as you consider PHS football. We hope you can join us!


This meeting is to help orient parents to the football program. We will outline basic player expectations, philosophy of the program, parent involvement opportunities, schedule, financial planning (budget), etc. Current JV and Varsity team parents will all be on Zoom as we like to consider the PHS Football Program as one entity, so our communications are often combined.
