PHS Monthly Update
Hello PHS Families,
It is wild to think that we have already successfully completed 1/2 of the school year. As the calendar turns to February, the excitement of the winter sports post-season starts to ramp-up, next comes the buzz around the musical, followed by Spring Break. Please continue to stay engaged with your students educational journey here at PHS. As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to any of us at PHS!

Students will be taking the YRBS on February 11th, during an extended Panther Time.

CREDIT RECOVERY-SUMMER SCHOOL
This year we are making a shift:
- If a student is eligible for credit recovery (mainly core 9th and 10th grade classes) from first semester, we are going to have teachers work with them during the month of February to make up for their missed learning, to earn the .5 required credit.
- With that in mind, we are going to have 1 two-week session in the summer, instead of the traditional 4 weeks, because the second sessions have not had many students enroll.
- The dates for the High School Credit Recovery Program will be June 9-12 and June 16-19.
- If your child is eligible for credit recovery during the month of February, you will be contacted by their teacher or counselor.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to your child's counselor for more information.
BUS NOTIFICATIONS
In order to streamline communication from Johnson School Bus to families regarding route interruptions, we've created two Remind App “classes” that you can join:
- Elementary School Routes
- PHS/Riverview MS Routes
Anyone can join one or both classes. Once you join, you will receive notifications or texts any time Johnson School Bus sends a message to that class.
Click here for instructions on how to install the Remind App on your smartphone to get push notifications, as well as instructions on how to sign up for text notifications if you prefer not to use the app.
