AP Testing: The College Board released a statement on Friday (3/13) that they currently plan to offer exams as scheduled during the first two weeks of May but are considering added flexibility with a late testing period. The College Board is continually monitoring the changes that continue to occur to school calendars and will be updating their policies as changes continue. As we are made aware of new information we will post it. Please continue to prepare for AP testing based upon what your teachers assign during the school closure period. The College Board will be posting an update on 3/20.
Tech Center Applications: The Tech Center Application Deadline, which was originally posted as Friday March 20th, has been adjusted. The current plan is for these to be due once we return to school as normal. Please just hold on to them and we will inform you if anything changes. This will not affect your probability for placement in a program.
Statement to all students: We know this school closure will affect us all in many ways and surely bring up questions. Your School Counselors are still here to help with any academic, social, or personal concerns you may have. While we may not be in our offices for you to stop by, we are checking our email every morning and after lunch to make sure we address all questions and concerns. Email will be your best option to contact us, as we will not have regular office hours. We will be available for individual virtual meetings if you would like, via the phone or google hangout. Do not hesitate to reach out, looking forward to seeing you all as soon as possible!
PPHS will be open from 9-12 tomorrow for students to access their lockers.
If you need to come in at a different time please contact the office and we will work something out.
We want every student to have their materials so everyone can continue to learn during this mandatory shut-down.
