-PHS Update- February 11
Pleasanton High School
Take Care of Yourself and Each Other!
We have battled Flu A, Flu B and Strep Throat this week at PHS. There were a high number of student absences, and a few staff members who have been hit hard by illness. Please make sure to take care of yourself and each other, by washing your hands, taking some extra vitamin C and getting to the doctor at the first sign of symptoms. If your student is ill, please contact us and keep them home, we will collect missing work or help them to get caught up upon their return to school.
UPDATE: Academic Watch - Week 4
Here is our Academic Probation policy at PHS:
Academic Probation Status - Students who have continued to fail a class for longer than three weeks are moved to academic probation. Once a student achieves academic probation status, a meeting is scheduled with the student, parent(s), high school principal, counselor, teachers, and coaches/sponsors (if needed) in order to create a plan to help the student to become successful. Students are ineligible to attend practices and participate in events until the probation meeting is held, a plan is created and the student is following the plan.

Policy Reminder: Spectator Expectations at Events
As we ramp up basketball season, we just want to remind everyone of the expectations of spectators at events. Basketball is a physical and high-intensity sport, tensions can run high. We want all of our athletes and Blu-Jay fans to be able to enjoy the game!
From the PHS Student/Family Handbook:
Parent/Adult/Spectator Expectations at Events: In order to ensure a safe and orderly environment in which our students can maximize their educational and social development, the following regulations are enacted with respect to the conduct of adult visitors:
1. Access to extracurricular locker rooms, meeting rooms, school transportation, and the like is strictly limited to students involved in extracurricular activities, sponsors/coaches, and administrators. Access by all others is prohibited by the Board of Education. Failure to comply with this policy will result in a suspension of the individual from extracurricular activities and/or school premises.
2. Verbally aggressive behavior, which would include, but not be limited to, threats, intimidation, and profanity, will result in limited access to school premises and school activities for up to one (1) year. The length of the restriction will be determined by the administration.
3. Physical or violent behavior will result in a ban by the Board of Education from school premises and activities and will be referred to law enforcement.
4. Failures to comply with the restricted access provided in these regulations will result in the filing of civil and/or criminal charges.
