Parents & Students, beginning Feb 22nd, next year's course requests will be available for viewing through ParentVUE/StudentVUE under the "Course Request" tab. This is not the student's schedule but the courses that have been registered and requested for your student. Students will have an opportunity to drop/add/change any courses that they would like through the PRHS Curriculum and Instruction eClass page. Students must be logged into the portal to access the page and change form. They need to make any changes by Feb 25th. We will begin building the master schedule at that point and no further changes can be made. | |

We do not interrupt classes for student messages or for the delivery of forgotten items such as lunches, money, keys, books, homework, book bags, etc.
Students are encouraged to remember to bring needed items with them to school. In addition, we do not deliver flowers, gifts, or fast food to classrooms.
Students may not receive any deliveries from a third party (parents, friends, outside vendors, restaurants, etc.) at any time during the school day, including breakfast and lunchtime.
Interruption of classes for deliveries interferes with instruction. Please help us protect the learning environment. P.10 Student Handbook
