We are preparing for District Assessment Interim season. Students enrolled in the courses below will take a District Assessment Interim (midterm) for 5% of their grade.
District Assessments are developed to align to the Academic, Knowledge, and Skills (AKS) and GCPS instructional calendars in the areas of language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. These assessments allow students to demonstrate what they know, understand, and are able to do and help teachers determine whether students are performing as expected or need additional support to be successful.
District Assessment Interim Testing Schedule:
· World History and U.S. History: Thursday, October 12th
· Biology, Chemistry, and Physics: Friday, October 13th
· Algebra, Geometry, Accelerated Geometry, and Advanced Algebra: Monday, October 16th
· 9th, 10th, and 11th grade Language Arts: Tuesday, October 17th
The District Assessment Interims will be given online. Student must bring their Chromebook (charged) and a charger.
Please be sure to attend school for these testing days.
Academic Letter Awards
Academic letters are awarded in the fall of a student's 10th, 11th, and 12th grade year based on the previous year's academic work. Students must have a 90.00 cumulative average (without rounding) each semester to qualify to be recognized the following school year. The first year award is an academic letter, the second year award is an academic pin, and the third year award is an academic medal. For example, a sophomore could be recognized during the fall of their sophomore year based on their academic performance during their freshman year.
PHS Advisement
The PHS Advisement Program offers additional academic support and mentoring for our students. If you missed the informational video about this class on the digital curriculum night, you can access it here:

Parents will now receive notification via PARENT SQUARE when their students are absent or tardy to their classes. Please use your ParentVue app to see what specific classes your student missed. The messages, and the ParentVue app are great tools to keep parents in the loop regarding their child’s attendance.
