It's the Countdown to Count Day! This Wednesday, October 1st is Student Count Day, which is when all public schools in Michigan tally the number of students attending on that day. This information is critical for our district because each student in attendance on this day directly impacts the per pupil state funding for our district. Your cooperation in making sure all healthy students are in school, on time, all day is greatly appreciated. Thank you! #CountDay #everydaymatters #attendancematters #AttendanceAwarenessMonth #buildtogetherpawpaw

Juniors and Sophomores:
PARKING:
This year, we have New Parking Permits. They are "hang tags" that hang on your rearview mirror. This allows you to more easily swap it from one car to a different one if you upgrade or drive your parent's car one day, etc. It also will allow you to take it down and put it in the glove box when you aren't at school if you choose to be more anonymous out in public.

When you sign up for your parking permit, you will also RESERVE your parking spot. All the spots have been numbered and you will choose your spot. This will be your spot for the year.
We are opening this up to SENIORS only this week, and it will open up to everyone else next week. Watch for another email with details.

PASSWORDS:
Starting tomorrow, your Chromebook and PPHS account passwords are changing. You will get your new passwords when you pick up your chromebooks.Available Chromebook pick-up times: Thursday 5:00- 7:00pm, Friday 9:00am- 12:00pm, and Monday 11am-1pm.
