JH Girls Meetings
During 5th block PE the girls met with Mrs. Conley for two days regarding the concerning behavior. There were a lot of tears, stories, and confessions, we were all tired by the end! The girls have created a plan for moving forward. The plan includes regular girls' meetings, a pact to be kinder and more helpful to each other, and an overall feeling of hope that things can improve.
In my personal opinion, we have to first teach them how to treat each other and then hold them accountable for the pact they made. Please speak with your daughter, and please share with me if you have concerns or hear things that I should know about.
JH boys are up next!
This Week: Fall Parent/Teacher Conferences
I encourage each of you to attend and check in with each of your student's teachers. This time is meant for short check-in meetings as opposed to long conferences.
If there is an issue that will require more time or an increased level of privacy that a traditional conference may not provide, please contact your student's teacher to schedule an alternate time for a private conference.
For spring conferences we hope to be ready to discuss scheduling options for the 2023-2024 school year. This conference setup will look different than the traditional model that we will use this fall.
Sportsmanship and Rule 52
At all events, our goal is to provide a positive experience for our athletes and coaches. We want to cheer them on, provide encouragement and support them whether they win or lose. PHS Pride has been a goal this year, and our students have risen to the occasion, they show up and cheer each other on. I am so proud that our student section is growing into a fun and positive environment for our fans and athletes.
Below is the link to Rule 52 from KSHSAA - I encourage you to review these rules with your family. As we approach basketball season, you will see more leadership from our students in the area of sportsmanship, prior to each game our athletes will provide these reminders to fans to help promote a positive environment.
