 Welcome to the 2017-18 school year!  Everyone at PWHS is excited about the beginning of a new school year and the amazing new learning opportunities available in the new classrooms.  The new athletic, music and offices will be built during the school year.  It is quite an amazing time to be a Pirate!

• Please review the enclosed schedule with your child.  Schedule changes will be made only for graduation requirements, if you do not have a necessary prerequisite, or if you have an incomplete schedule. Schedule changes will NOT be made to accommodate study hall, lunch or teacher preferences. Schedule changes will be by appointment only.  To set up an appointment please call (262) 268-5525. Counselors will be available on a limited basis beginning August 9th until August 24th.
• Open Lunch-With the temporary lunch location in the new building, we are opening up open lunch privilege for 11^th and 12^th grade students for the 2017-18 school year.
• Cell Phone/other Electronic device Privilege at PWHS- If a student chooses to bring a cell phone/electronic device to school it must remain in their locker or in a back pack turned off.  Cell phones are not allowed out in the classroom at any time. Parents needing to contact their son/daughter should contact the office.  Cell phone holders are available in each classroom.  Any violation of the cell phone/electronic device policy will follow the procedures outlines in the PWHS student handbook.  The school will not be held responsible in any way for lost or damaged cell phones. Students are allowed to use their cell phones during lunch.
• Exam Exemptions 2017-18. Students in grades 10-12 will have the same opportunity for exam exemptions as the previous year.  Each student in grades 10-12 can earn up to two exam exemptions each semester.  One exam exemption is available to all students without any unexcused absences or disciplinary referrals.  The other exemption is the Port Pride exemption.  9^th grade students will only be able to earn the Port Pride exemption in 2017-18.
• ACT Prep (especially for 11^th grade students) with Method Test Prep.
