Get ready! We have a busy week ahead at PHMS!
We will have an additional teacher offering tutoring on Wednesdays. Now we have a 5/6 teacher and a 7/8 teacher available to help students with core classes. Please take advantage of this opportunity if your child is struggling. Tutoring begins at 3:36 and ends at 5:00 sharp.
On Thursday, our PHMS Stuco officers a shared presentation at the School Board meeting. They all did a great job representing PHMS Clubs!
Mr.and Mrs. Woods (PHR6 parents) owners of BobsCNC gave a tour of their facility to our 5/6 Honor Roll students this week. Thank you so much for teaching our kids! They enjoyed the treats and souvenir as well! As we continue to show our students what is possible outside of the school walls, if you have a business or career that you would like to share, please reach out!

Allow for Thinking Time
Do you ever feel like you are rushing from one activity to the next? Our fast paced world can effect our ability to think and transisition and we are grown adults. Imagine how difficult these transistions and on the spot decisions might be for our kids.
Children need time to think! Let's say...
You need your child to make sure the dog has water and food each day. Don't just tell them to do it and move on to the next item on your list. They need time to think. Ask them to think about how they will get this chore done each day. Brainstorm together and have them come up with the plan. Thank them for the process and be ready to offer praise and changes to the plan if needed. Hopefully the plan they develop for watering and feeding the dog each day is successful and Fido is a happy, healthy pup!
I know you might be thinking, why go through all this trouble. Why can't I just tell them what to do? You can, but the process of making a plan is an important skill they need. I'm not saying give them a trophy each day for feeding the dog, but pick a goal, maybe at the end of the month, and celebrate if they carried out the plan with 90% or higher accuracy.
Giving Kids Time to Think & Understanding the Importance of the Process Will Help Them and You!
