to all of the PHS School Community. We are grateful for the amazing students we have here at PHS. Amazing students come from wonderful families. We are blessed to have a staff at PHS that truly cares about student learning and work to best serve all of our students. We are proud to be a part of your lives and wish you a happy and safe break with your friends and family. Be ready to continue the hard work that earned PHS an A school grade last year when you return. We need to keep a laser focus on academics during the holiday season.

Testing starts right after Thanksgiving break.

Please make sure your student brings a charged laptop and their charger. Need a new charger? Ordering instructions are attached—order now to have it delivered over break!

Students will be participating in state testing, and those who are not testing will continue learning and completing assignments in class.

Attendance is important—please make sure your student comes to school ready.

Heart of Florida United Way is hosting the 7th Annual Thanksgiving Project on Saturday, November 22nd from 10 am - 12noon, Valencia, Osceola Campus. This is an opportunity for families to get a free meal kit with shelf stable food items, roasting pan, a grocery gift card and more.

Our district has partnered with Varsity Tutors again this year to provide unlimited, live support from highly qualified tutors, self-study resources, and engaging extracurricular classes.

When students need help with homework or are struggling to solve a problem, they can immediately chat with a tutor, 24/7, to get the help they need. Students can take practice tests and follow personal lesson plans for guided self-study. They can also sign up for expert-led live classes, and learn subjects like Geometry, Middle School Math, Elementary School Reading and more. All students are enabled to access the Varsity Tutors platform via Classlink.

The comprehensive platform integrates interactive study tools, collaborative workspaces, and dynamic tutoring resources including:

To help keep students in class and avoid unnecessary office visits, we ask that families use the attached MSB Support Guide when access issues come up. This guide includes easy step-by-step instructions and customer service contact information to help resolve most problems quickly.

In many cases, issues with MSB can be fixed by contacting customer service directly—often within minutes. Since staff cannot always assist over the phone or see what parents are viewing, using the guide and reaching out to MSB support is the fastest and most effective option.

Students can connect with their school counselor during their lunch period. Counselors will be stationed at the auditorium lobby on the cafeteria side each week (Monday through Thursday), so that students can ask questions and get help. Please check out the one-pager below for Counselor Caseloads, which includes their days down at lunch.

For the 2025-2026 school year, we would like to inform you that some of our dedicated teachers are currently teaching subjects for which they do not yet hold the required certifications. However, they are actively working towards obtaining the necessary certifications or endorsements to enhance their qualifications in these areas. We appreciate their commitment to professional growth and ensuring the best educational experience for our students.
