Dear Teachers, Parents, and Students,
Seven weeks is all that stands between graduation and the 164 members of the Class of 2013. For the rest of us, summer is fast approaching and there is much to do prior to the end of the school year. Most importantly, we want all of our students to finish the year strong and build momentum towards next year, no matter where they are at in their educational journey.
The beginning of April is really important for all parents and students to pay attention to, as it is the completion of our AIMS testing period this year. If your student is a sophomore, junior, or senior that has not passed the AIMS, it is really important that your student is present on April 9, as that is when the AIMS math test is given. AIMS is truly a test of what your student knows, and here at Page High School we encourage them to “show what they know” and “so their best!” In addition to the AIMS math test, all freshmen and sophomores who have or are currently taking biology, will take the AIMS science test on April 10. The freshmen class will also take the SAT 10 on April 18, which gives our school a look at how our freshmen students perform compared to their same aged peers nationwide. As with each day school is in session, it is vital that your student attends school during the two days of AIMS testing and for the SAT 10 testing. The information gleaned from these tests will help our school improve the manner in which we instruct our students.
The end of school will be here quickly, which means that final exams will be here before we know it. It is important to remember that we expect all students to be present each day of finals week. The only exceptions to this rule are: a student who is attending the graduation of an immediate family member or if a student has a medical emergency that requires a stay in the hospital. Please call or e-mail Mr. Gagnon (928) 608-4185 if your student will be missing finals due to one of the approved reasons above.
As a teacher at PHS, this time of the year was my favorite for several reasons. One of those reasons was the PHS graduation of course. Our graduation ceremony this year will be on Saturday, May 18 at 7:00 p.m. on Cyclone Field at Sand Devil Stadium (The PHS football stadium). Parents, guardians, extended family, and members of the community need to make plans to attend this special event, which has always been one of the most well attended events of the year in Page.
Finally, in the spirit of finishing strong, I just want to remind you and your student about one of the three As, attendance. Attendance until the very last day of the year is vital. If your students’ grades are not what they need to be, it is never too late to bring that F up to a D, a D to a C, a C to a B, or a B to an A. The key to all of this though is the attendance of your son or daughter, niece or nephew, granddaughter or grandson, each and every day at school.
Yours in Education,
Mr. Paul Gagnon
Principal
