Winter Weather... BRRR!
Winter weather is fast approaching, and the need to check for school closures becomes important to everyone. The fastest forms of notification for school closures are:
1. Phone/Text Alerts - If school is closed Mr. Epps will send an alert, if you are registered in our system you will receive a phone call and text message with the information.
2. USD 344 and Pleasanton Schools Facebook pages - We will also post closure information on our Facebook pages as soon as the information becomes available.
If school is closed the school offices will be closed, the fastest way to reach us will be via email. If you need to update your phone number to recieve calls and text alerts, please contact the high school office.
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.
