On Day 4 of National Bus Safety Week, here are some sound strategies to help students get on and off the bus safely. #ThankYouBusDrivers #studentsafetymatters #buildtogetherpawpaw
On Day 3 of National Bus Safety Week, today's tip is about keeping kids safe at the bus stop. The PPPS Transportation Department takes driver training and student safety seriously. In addition to regular bus evacuation drills with students, PPPS drivers participate in ongoing training, such as Drivers' Awareness Training, which addresses different scenarios and challenging situations that can occur on the bus. #SchoolBusSafetyWeek #ThankYouBusDrivers #studentsafetymatters #buildtogetherpawpaw
National School Bus Safety Week serves as a reminder for students, parents, teachers and the community to keep school bus safety top-of-mind. Each day this week we will share another bus safety tip. Today's safety tip is focused on walking to the bus stop. #schoolbussafetyweek #thankyoubusdrivers #studentsafetymatters #buildtogetherpawpaw

In addition, on Thursday, October 12, Mrs. Steciow will be presenting to senior parents about 12th graders "Next Steps" including career planning and college applications in the media center from 6:00- 7:00 pm.
On Monday, October 16, Mr. Kenyon will be presenting to Junior parents about the next steps for 11th grade students, including career exploration and college visits.
A note- October 12 is a very busy evening at PPHS with a MS Conference meet and a home HS Volleyball match starting at 5:00 here on campus. As a result, we'll be directing traffic, and there may be a slight delay in the driveway as we direct parents and collect parking fees for those attending the cross country meet. If you're coming to conferences, let the guides know and they'll get you to the right spot with no parking fee.
Today is National Custodian Appreciation Day! At PPPS, we appreciate all the ways our dedicated custodians add to a culture of kindness, respect and safety across the district and in each school building.

From PPHS-
The deadline is approaching for the Chromebook maintenance fees.
October 1st is the deadline to pay the Chromebook usage fee. The $10 fee will cover one repair or replacement due to accidental damage. It does not provide coverage for replacement accessories, cosmetic damage, or damage caused by intentional misuse or abuse. If the maintenance fee is not paid by October 1, families will be responsible for any damages that occur, including accidents and intentional damage.
Chromebook maintenance fees can be paid on eFunds.
Please contact us if you have any questions.

Reminder that tomorrow, Wednesday, is our first Early Release of the year. School will dismiss at 1:35pm on Wednesdays.
Speaking of dismissal- Thank you for your patience as we work to streamline our pick up and bus procedures at he end of the day. Your cooperation has been noticed and is appreciated.
Happy Sunday PPHS parents!
We are looking forward to the start of school tomorrow. Reminder that tomorrow is a half day. The building will open at 7:15 and classes will begin at 7:35am. Students are invited to enjoy breakfast- which is free for all students- in the cafeteria while they wait for the hallway to open.
We are not printing paper schedules, so students should check Powerschool tonight to see their updated schedules. Locker information can be found under "Forms."
School dismisses at 11:05. While lunch will be free for all students this year, it is not being served on half days.
Parent drop off and pick up is at the front of the building. We do ask that parents clear from the curb before buses line up at 11:20.
Please remind your student to come dressed for school and bring an extra layer, as the air conditioning is quite cool in some rooms.
We hope you all get a good night's sleep- we can't wait to see those first day of school pics!
See you in the morning!
