A MESSAGE FROM JENNIFER FULLER, ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL
We would like to keep parents informed of what students are learning in regard to laptop usage/tips/expectations.
 
All next week, we are spending 5-10 minutes at the end of second period for a Tech Time session.  Then, we will begin every Tuesday thereafter with a Tech Time video.
 
Below is the YouTube channel and we really encourage parents to learn along with students.  The first video on general laptop care has been uploaded.

The PSAT will be administered on Wednesday October 14 to all 9-11th grade students. This is the first year of the redesigned exam and we want you to be prepared. We are offering many review opportunities including lunchtime, evenings and Saturdays. Check the Paschal Website for schedules and registration forms if necessary.
Senior Day of Community Service

Paschal High School will be sponsoring the Second Annual Senior Day of Community Service on October 14, 2015.  Last year over 250 students participated and over 13 organizations received volunteers for a morning of community service work.  This year, we need funds for buses as well as chaperones to attend the event with the Seniors while the rest of school is participating in the PSAT.  If you are interested in chaperoning, please contact Jennifer Andrews-Cox at jennifer.andrewscox@fwisd.org and if you would like to donate towards the transportation cost you may do so at by clicking here or by check to PHS c/o of Senior Day of Service.
