The PHS Compass

The fourth quarter is always a busy and exciting time filled with academic achievements, extracurricular events, and memorable moments.

Our staff is encouraging our students to stay focused and finish strong. Whether it's seeking extra help from teachers, utilizing tutoring opportunities, or accessing academic support services, PHS Staff is here to help our students succeed.

For our seniors, this is a particularly bittersweet time as they prepare to embark on the next chapter of their lives. As parents, it is emotional to watch your child embark on their next steps. We hope that you cherish these final weeks of their educational journey, celebrate your accomplishment of supporting them through the last 12+ years of education and look forward to the exciting opportunities that lie ahead.

With gratitude,

Kalin Cross

Proud Principal

Phoenix High School

We know things are about to ramp up for our seniors and their families. On top of making sure grades are great, there are a lot of things going on.

Here is a document that will help to make sure you're everywhere you need to be (and your 12 grade student is too!). Students received a hard copy of this last week as well as a digital copy to keep on their phones.

Let us know if you have questions or concerns. Thank you!

Dear PTS families,

If your home was damaged or destroyed in the 2020 Almeda fire, you may be eligible for help through ReOregon's Homeowner Assistance and Reconstruction Program (HARP). The first step is to complete the HARP Eligibility Questionnaire, which you can access by clicking here.

Complete and submit the questionnaire to help ReOregon determine your eligibility to apply for HARP. This questionnaire should take about 15-30 minutes to complete. Once you begin, you will need to finish the entire form. Do not exit or refresh the page until you are finished and have submitted your responses. See the attached fact sheet for more information.

If you are having trouble filling out your Eligibility Questionnaire, the ReOregon Call Center can help you complete your form over the phone. Call 1-877-510-6800 or 541-250-0938 to get started.
