Dear PHMS Parents and Guardians,
Our annual state testing period is approaching. These assessments help us understand your child’s academic progress and ensure our school continues to provide high-quality education aligned with state standards. The testing window will span across two to three weeks, with students testing first through third period.
To help your child perform their best, please ensure they get adequate sleep the night before testing, eat a nutritious breakfast, and arrive at school on time. Students are allowed to bring a water bottle (water only).
On testing days, students will need to bring a positive attitude along with a book to read when they finish testing. Students are not allowed to have any electronic devices (including but not limited to: earbuds, other computers, smart watches, etc) with them during a testing session.
If you have any questions about the state testing process, please do not hesitate to contact the building principal.
