This is Kenny DeMoss, Principal of PHS, with an important message for all parents. Midterms came out on the 24th. Please look at your child’s grades on Schoology. If your student received an F the 1st and 2nd nine weeks for a class, and if they currently have an F for midterms for the 3rd nine weeks, they are in danger of failing the class for the year. Anytime a student receives 3 F’s for the year in one class, or has FF the last two nine weeks, they fail that class. Please review your child’s progress and if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to the student’s counselor through Schoology or call us at 304-420-9595.
