Jan 6th
Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful winter break. January will feel short as we quickly come to the end of the first semester. We have two full weeks of school before finals. Both of these weeks will feature Flex periods for your student to get extra support from their teachers. Please encourage your student to keep track of their assignments in Canvas and to utilize Flex. This week, Flex is on Wednesday and Thursday.
Tomorrow, January 7, the PPS school board will review the final bond obligation materials which will include high school modernization projects. I look forward to engaging with the community on our design process as we work to finalize the schematic design process. I will let you know when we will be hosting our next community design workshop.
Welcome back, Warriors! We hope that you are feeling rejuvenated, and that the time away was restful. The deadline to drop an IB exam and receive a full refund (or avoid possible repayment fees) is this Friday, January 10th. Please complete this form and watch for a confirmation email if your student has decided to withdraw from any of their exams.
Senior IB Diploma candidates are finishing up their Extended Essay rough drafts in the next couple of weeks and gearing up for our Extended Essay Showcase on Wednesday, February 19th. We hope you will mark your calendar to join us for this amazing event where you can see students present on their exciting and individual research topics!
Happy New Year!

All volunteers must first complete the PPS Volunteer application process.
Each school day between 8:45am-10:15am we need a morning campus greeter at the main doors on SE 26th. This is a great way to get involved at our school. This role is easy, but very important. You're there to welcome students and direct visitors arriving to the building after the school day begins.
Just click the button and pick a day that works best for you! Please make sure you have a current PPS volunteer background check on file to sign-up. If you have any question feel free to contact the school office anytime.
