AR Procedures

The students at PHIS watched a short presentation on the AR procedures that students follow in the Intermediate School. This presentation includes information on how many points they have to earn each quarter for their Rooster Reading grade, how many points they have to earn, the Code of Conduct information and general guidelines and tips. I am very excited that students now have many more quizzes to choose from this year since we switched to the web based version of AR in Renaissance Place. Please watch the video to learn about our procedures.

Well, I did it! I got to meet Rick Riordan! For the first time ever an author won the Mark Twain Award two years in a row, so amazingly he got to accept last year's award and this year's at the same time! He was a very funny and gracious presenter. With all the excitement of the upcoming movie and release of The Last Olympian on May 5th there was a real "rock star" feel in the air. For total Percy Jackson immersion, check out his blog, his website, and information on the forthcoming movie.

Playaways

It’s exciting to announce a new opportunity in the Library Media Center for our students! We now have Playaways! Playaways are books on MP3 players. These are available for students to listen to in the LMC before our morning assembly. Additionally, the LMC will be open on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings at 7:25 so that students may come to the library and take advantage of this opportunity. All books have available AR quizzes so that students can use these to earn their points.
