Phillips High School

Attendance Matters....all day, on time, every day! Every school day counts, and every absence can impact a student's ability to learn and grow! September is National School Attendance Awareness Month. Kicking Off the Attendance Matters Initiative! We're excited to announce the launch of our Attendance Matters Initiative! From now until the end of the semester, every single day you're at school, you'll be making a big difference in your future and earning a chance to win AMAZING prizes. Here's how it works: Be Here, Be Present: Each day you're at school, you'll be entered into a prize drawing. The more days you attend, the more chances you have to win! At the end of each week, the students with perfect attendance will be entered to receive some prizes. Special Prizes Await: At the end of each month, we'll draw for some extra special prizes! Think gift cards, extra break time, and more! The grade level with the highest percentage of attendance will be rewarded with a special event at the end of each month. At the end of the semester, we will enter every student with perfect attendance for a chance to win a massage, spa time, and a Play Station 5. Teacher Attendance Matters! We will also reward the teacher with the highest percentage of attendance at the end of the semester with a fabulous prize. Why Attend Every Day? 1. Boost Your Success: Regular attendance is linked to better grades and future opportunities. 2. Build Lifelong Habits: Developing a strong attendance record helps you in school and beyond. 3. Win Cool Stuff: Get rewarded for doing what you do best--showing up! Let's make this semester our best yet! Be here, stay engaged, and let's show everyone that Attendance Matters!

School will resume for Marion County students on Wednesday, August 7th, and motorists will be sharing the road with school buses once again. Please allow additional time in your daily commute to accommodate more traffic, including buses, on the roadways. Our Transportation Department operates with our children’s safety as its number one priority. Please help them keep our children safe by keeping a watchful eye for school buses and being mindful of the law which pertains to them.

Very long and productive work day at PHS! I didn’t get many pictures of our work in the band room. We had Mr. Garrison, Linda Farr, Aydian, Sandra, and Addi all busy cleaning. Chris and Anna removed the molded sheetrock and fixed the studs so new Sheetrock could be put up. Thank you Linda Farr for the sink! Mr. Tom Hill is going to help us with that! #proudtobeanear
