Administrator

Hello PSHP Families and Students

Spring Reminders

Please review all of these with your family members that attend PSHP.

  1. Please wear modest clothing.  No short shorts or sleeveless tops please.  Shorts need to be within 4 inches of your knees to be acceptable on a Friday.
  2. All PSHP students should be within an adult’s eye sight at all times.  Do not gather in a room without a teacher or adult in the room.
  3. Do not congregate in the stairwells for safety reasons.
  4. No public display of affection is allowed between any PSHP students.
  5. Reserve running and loud talking for outdoors please.  No running in the Fellowship Hall as there are many people in this space.
  6. Review safety drills for fire and tornados.  The students will gather by their last names outside on the grass north and west of the church.  If they are in a class at the time of the drill or emergency, the teacher will lead them out to the grass and go by each of the areas to gather by last name.  If a student is not in a class, they will need to quickly and calmly take  the nearest exit outside and gather on the grass outside to the area with the alphabet signs.  A drill will happen during the morning of Friday, May 5.  Students that are in the Sanctuary and Choir Room will exit out the doors outside of the Sanctuary.
