Reminders
Walk to School!
Last spring we invited all families attending PHS to join with their friends and neighbours to walk to school every Wednesday and Friday morning. Let's continue to make this simple change that results in big benefits! We encourage you to explore the residential areas around the school for parking spaces that are more convenient while being mindful about parking in front of private driveways. Parking just two or three blocks away from the school will reduce frustration and increase everyone’s safety!  You may enter child in a draw if they walk to school on these days…see the school website for details.
To support children in becoming knowledgeable readers, the most important thing parents can do is to read aloud to their children and talk about what has been read. This nightly process supports children in developing oral language skills (the ability to talk in a fluid and understandable manner), comprehension (understanding what has been read), and sparks enthusiasm toward the act of reading. We created this downloadable document to support parents in identifying the expectations for readers during their years at PHS: 

Ask me about

Who did you run for in the Terry Fox Run?
