Update from Counseling Office: VAN BUREN TECH APPLICATIONS ARE NOW DUE BY APRIL 24. A digital copy of the application was shared with you earlier in the week. You can copy this, fill it out and share it back to Mr. Kenyon or you can take a picture of your original application and send it to Mr. Kenyon.
Note from the Counseling Office: Tech Center applications were made available to 10th and 11th grade students through their school email. Any student that did not turn in a hard copy before we left school needs to turn in a digital copy to Mr. Kenyon. Students can submit a scanned photo of the original document or type a new application into the Google doc shared with them. Instructions are available in the email.

The Daily Update has been posted to ppps.org for today (Tuesday, April 14). Please take a moment to read the update about retrieving items from lockers, and the new PPHS feature, The Senior Spotlight, celebrating members of our senior class.
We have been getting quite a few questions about lockers.
At this time, we are honoring the governor's Stay Home order, and are not allowing students or parents into the buildings.
If your child left a textbook, chromebook, charger, or other item essential for academic work, please email Mrs Southworth (tammy.southworth@ppps.org) to make an arrangement for her to get that item to you.
Thanks for your patience!
Introducing the PPHS Senior Spotlight!
Questionnaires were recently sent (via email) to the Class of 2020.
Their responses, along with a couple of pictures that they share with us, will be used to build a Spotlight to celebrate each senior.
Today we will begin unveiling these spotlights; look for 2-3 spotlights on our social media sites each day over the next few weeks as we shine the light on the members of PPHS Class of 2020.
If you have a senior at home, encourage them to complete the questionnaire so we can include them in our series. Thank you in advance!
