Greetings, Warrior Families!


I would like to take this moment to recognize a truly special event that transpired this week. Monday morning was an annual event commemorating the events, and the heroes, of September11th. It was humbling and awe inspiring to see members of every facet of the community come together and climb 2071 stairs that represented the 110 flights of stairs of the world trade centers. This included local firefighters, law enforcement, local government, students, teachers and members of our community. This event was an annual time to reflect and remember the bravery and sacrifices made on September 11, 2001. I was overwhelmed with the tremendous sense of pride and humbled by the presence of everyone there. Again, thank you to Major Bower for leading the PHS JROTC program and for organizing this incredible event.


Next week will be our first annual Triumph Week: Rise to Homecoming. We hope to see you all at the Community Pep Rally on Wednesday evening, and the game on Friday night for the crowning of the first-ever Triumph Court! A big THANK YOU to our Students Council officers, members, and sponsors for putting together a fantastic week ahead. See the flyer below for details!


Have a wonderful weekend!


With Warrior Pride!

Week 5:

Attendance Matters!


We believe a good education provides your student with a foundation for future success! Absences can seriously disrupt a student’s mastery of the instructional material provided daily and cause them to fall behind or feel disconnected from what is happening in the classroom.


· Our schools are a community! We want students to be engaged and involved in what is happening at school. The best way to be connected is to be in school regularly and get involved!


· Knowledge is powerful! Stress the importance of a good education and how attending regularly impacts their academic success! They must be present to learn!

COUNSELORS CORNER COUNSELORS CORNER

This week the counseling staff continued Warrior Welcome meetings during advisory and met with 12th and 11th graders. The 12th grade reviewed steps they can be taking now to prepare for their endeavors after high school. The 11th grade had an overview of ways the counseling staff can be a support at school and ways to be successful during their junior year.



Counselors will be working with all students this year through fall and spring guidance lessons. Each grade level will receive one lesson each semester. Guidance began this week with 9th grade and counselors presented on High School GPA and College Admissions. Below are ways you can continue the conversation at home with your student.


  • Talk to your child about college plans as if he or she will definitely go to college.

  • Keep an eye on your child’s study habits and grades—stay involved.

  • Encourage your child to take Advanced Placement or other challenging classes.

  • Add to your child’s college savings account regularly; and make sure you are fully aware of the provisions of the account.

  • Address your concerns about whether your child can or should go to college.

  • Use the College Scorecard to instantly compare expenses and projected loan payments across schools that your child is interested in attending.

Please see flyer below for our first Tranquil Tuesday of the year! It will be Tuesday, September 26th. Students will be able to sign up in the counseling office.
