We’re rolling into another packed week at the PRIDE of the CITY, and there’s a lot happening as we push toward Spring Break. Attendance, engagement, and accountability continue to be our focus—let’s make this week count!
LIVE to GIVE: Staches & Lashes
Staches & Lashes is in full swing, and voting kicks off Tuesday and runs through Thursday at lunches. Every vote is $2, and all proceeds go toward the Tommie Forrest and Darnell Hunter Scholarship, awarded to a senior every year.
This is a great way to get involved, have some fun, and support a Peoria High grad! Winners will be announced Thursday afternoon.
Seniors: Jostens is Coming Through🎓
Jostens will be here Thursday morning through lunch to deliver graduation orders and assist any seniors who still need to place an order for their cap, gown, or other graduation materials.
Seniors, don’t wait—this is your chance to make sure you’re set for graduation!
Slide Into Spring with Slushies! 🛝
We’re rewarding students who SHOW UP! Any student with 95% attendance this month will get a Slide into Spring Slushie at lunch on Friday.
Attendance matters. Every period. Every day. It’s that simple. When students are here, they learn. When they aren’t, they fall behind. Let’s keep pushing for strong numbers and a hot start to Q4!
Spring Intersession 🌷
Spring Intersession is happening March 24-28 and is focused on helping students get back on track through Edgenuity credit recovery.
Seniors who need to finish courses to graduate—this is a must.
Freshmen who failed a core class in Semester 1 should attend.
Sophomore and Junior students are welcome.
🔗 Sign up for Intersession here: https://forms.microsoft.com/r/DnwrGZBxYn
If your student has unfinished coursework, this is the best way to get it done now instead of scrambling later.
Juniors – ACT is April 9th! 📝 (This is REQUIRED!)
Every Junior is REQUIRED to take the ACT on April 9th—this is a graduation requirement.
Make sure your student:
✅ Gets a good night’s sleep
✅ Eats breakfast
✅ Arrives ON TIME
📢 ACT Bootcamp continues Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday! If your junior hasn’t been attending, they need to be there. This test matters, and we want every student to perform their best on the test.
7 Mindsets This Week – Live to Give: Make a Difference
This week’s 7 Mindsets lesson is all about Live to Give: Make a Difference.
We’re challenging students to look beyond themselves and think about ways to help others, give back, and be a positive force in their community.
Encourage your student to ask themselves: How can I make an impact today? Sometimes, the smallest actions create the biggest change.
Cell Phone-Free School 📵
We’re sticking to the plan—phones stay in the Yondr pouch.
📢 If a phone is seen out at ANY point during the day, it will be taken and must be picked up by a parent/guardian in the main office.
We want to continue eliminating distractions and keeping the focus on learning. Help us reinforce this at home!
Cognia Survey – Almost Done!
✅ Parents & Staff – COMPLETE 🎉
✅ Students – 40 Left to Go!
A huge thank you to all the parents and staff who completed the Cognia Survey! We’re down to just 40 students left to finish.
Onward. Forward. 🐾
