Whole-hearted Family & School Connections

We are always looking for that two-way connection between home and school.  

Some schools, perhaps bigger institutions, may treat communication with parents as mechanical, secondary, or perhaps even as a nuisance.

But at PHCS, communication with parents is breath in our lungs.  We desire to know your family and have your valuable input into the way we do things at PHCS.  In order to offer "Whole-Hearted Education," We need parents.  And not in a "take your place among the others and do your volunteer work to log your hours" way.  We need to know you, to better serve you, so students can thrive at PHCS.

There is a place for you, as a parent, right here among us.  The two-way connection between home and school creates a uniquely consistent experience for our children's education.  Mrs. See makes a way for family volunteer hours to be fun and fulfilling, through recognizing a parent's/family-member's giftings and talents. One parent was extremely artistic, so she taught art once a week.  Another parent was bilingual with a sweet heart for children, so she became our Spanish teacher.  Another is studying to become a medical professional, and has become the science teacher for the K-1.  Another parent is an aspiring author, so Mrs. See tapped her to co-write the school blog with her. (Hello!)  

Now that we are in January, 'tis the season for checking in with our principal about what this season holds and what your plans are for re-enrollment.

Yes, we want to know if we will have the pleasure of seeing your child next year.  Absolutely. 

But we are also genuinely interested in how you are doing personally and as a family.  
We want to know what has changed and shifted for you and your family now that we are in January. 

Optional Parent-Teacher conferences are coming up to check-in about your student's progress in class.  And what about the things at home?  How are you?   How can we come-alongside you in this season to serve and encourage you?

This kind of communication is the doorway to bearing each other's burdens.  You may find out that many other families are struggling in similar ways.  As you chat with Mrs. See, you may find creative solutions together for the places in which you feel stuck right now.  

This is the essence of PHCS: "Whole-Hearted Education:"  developing our students and our families through knowing each others' strengths, weaknesses, victories, anxieties, joys, and sorrows.  We are in this together.  We cannot do this without one other.

I am so blessed to have my child in a place where I feel like they bridge the gaps in my parenting. They are able to reach my daughter in ways that I never could imagine and her growth has been tremendous. I am grateful for the family feeling, feeling like we are a team in the upbringing of my children.

As a family we are so completely grateful and blessed to be a part of PHCS. My granddaughter loves going to school and is thriving in her studies as well in her social life. I absolutely love this school and the staff.

Thank you Mrs.See and all of PHCS for being who you are and doing what you are doing. You all are priceless.

Mia and I are blessed to have a family at PHCS, who love and nurture us each day. Mia comes home often telling me about fun activities that she's done during the day, especially PE with Ms. Nave She also comes home singing sweet songs about Jesus, and making me look up the songs and learn them with her, which I enjoy with all my heart. Through PHCS, God is working in and through my daughter as a vessel to bring about hope into the home that her and I share together. We love PHCS and everyone in it.

Bit cause important. Create serious beautiful together begin.
Long instead owner. Thus whom dark cold music. Capital benefit small.
