WEELLLCCCOOOMMMEEE BAAACCCKKK ! ! ! !

Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians,

Whether you’re returning or new to our community, we are excited to start a new year here at Pentucket Middle-High School.

Our faculty and staff have been hard at work preparing for an exciting year of learning, growth, and success. We’re introducing new programs and initiatives that will enhance your educational experience and help build a strong, supportive community. Our new cell phone guidelines for example, will help enhance student's time on learning and hopes to mitigate the social media epidemic.

Parents and guardians, your partnership is invaluable, and we look forward to working with you to support our students in every way possible. One of our school goals is communication with families, so you should expect to hear from your student's teachers more than in the past.

Students, this is your year to explore new opportunities, make new friends, and achieve great things. Your effort and attitude will shape your school year so embrace every challenge and make the most of this year.

IMPORTANT: The weekly SMORE will go out each Friday during the school year. PLEASE use this as THE landing page to find all information. Grade specific information can be found at the bottom on the class buttons, athletic schedules and PAA, Student Services, Fundraising, as well as general information will be found on the SMORE. This should be your resource to find answers to what is going on at PRMHS!

Please be sure to complete all sign-offs and health upates as soon as possible. Go to PRSD.org and find the Middle School OR High School page. Go to the left hand side buttons and choose "BACK-TO-SCHOOL POLICIES".

Here’s to a fantastic school year ahead!

Mrs. Erhardt

COMING SOON! New way to communicate absences

Be on the lookout mid-October for a new way to report your child's absence. You will be able to use the Infinite Campus app to report your child's absence! More to come soon :)

School Times!

7:35 - First class begins. Please be here prior to school starting!

2:15 - Last class ends

Reminder - after five (5) unexcused tardies, parents or guardians will receive a notice and an after school detention will be issued.

Early Dismissals

If you know in advance that your child will need to be dismissed from school early, please notify us as soon as possible. Waiting until the last minute disrupts the classroom.

Pianos

The district has several upright and “baby” grand pianos available for donation. If you are interested please email Jonathan Seymour seymour@prsd.org

After School Clubs and Activities

There will be an after school Clubs and Activities fair the second full week of school. At that time students will learn about all of the opportunities they have for after school activities. The details of this will be shared with parents soon after the fair.
