On Wednesday April 20th at 5:30 in the auditorium there will be an informational meeting with representatives from WVU-P and Parkersburg High School Counselors regarding dual credit and early college courses. This meeting is for parents and guardians of current 10th and 11th graders interested in learning more about this great opportunity.
This message is for all Juniors and parents of Juniors. Tomorrow, Wednesday, April 13, all Juniors will take the SAT as their state assessment. This is a requirement for all Juniors and is a necessary component to measure their overall academic levels. All Juniors need to be in their assigned classrooms by 8am; DO NOT BE LATE! Classroom assignments have been posted throughout the first floor of the building, the front and back hallway, and in the cafeteria. Upon entering for testing, each Junior will receive a drawing ticket that will allow them to be considered for prize drawings later that afternoon in the Field House. We have about $1300 in prizes to give away just for being on time and showing up. You must be present to win and in order to be able to win you must have a ticket; which means you must be on time! Please get a good nights rest so you can perform your best. No electronic devices will be allowed during testing; this includes smart devices of any kind. All Juniors will attend the same lunch after testing is over. Juniors who have classes at the Tech or Caperton Center tomorrow, will not attend and you will be excused. Juniors parents do not plan on picking up your student during testing because we cannot interrupt testing in process. Good luck tomorrow!
Wednesday April 13th is the School Day SAT for 11th graders. Test will begin after morning announcements. Please have students in building with time to get settled and go to their testing room assignments. Testing room assignments will be posted in the hallways.

Attention Seniors and Senior parents!!
PHS is off limits for any water assassin related activity 24hrs a day 7 days a week. This is not a school sponsored activity in anyway. Also, anyone caught playing water assassins during school time will be reprimanded even if it is going to tech center or Caperton. School time and county property at any time are off limits.
It is going to take someone to get seriously hurt for this to be shut down. I encourage you all to stop participating. Law enforcement is highly on the look out for those playing with repercussions in mind.
Any questions, please call OFFICER BELL at PHS or your local Law Enforcement.
The following are articles from the internet about the dangers or water assassins.
Teachers please read and share the info.

Parents and students-
No student is to be in the back parking lot for ANY reason at ANYTIME during the school day. We now have the community health center in the annex which means there will be the public traffic coming onto campus. In order to keep our students safe they should only be in the back lot if the are parking back there with a permit and arriving/leaving school based upon their schedule. Any student found out in the lot will be reprimanded. Parents please let your student know!
Seniors, as a reminder, the Senior Panoramic picture will be taken in the stadium at 8:am tomorrow on 3/29. Please report directly there first and then to your class for those that have one on campus. Dress warm! This is the only day the photographer can come!
