OG’s Cell Phone and Electronic Devices Policy

 All cellphones/devices (ex. headphones)  are the responsibility of the student, not the school. Students are expected to put these devices away upon entering the school. Prior to 3:45 pm, students are not to have devices out in school. No devices are to be used during class, in the hallways or during lunch or recess. If you need to contact family members, please do so from the office phone.

 Non-approved usage will result in:

1. Giving a warning
2. Taking the device for the remainder of the day and involving parents
3. Requiring that the device be secured daily in the main office upon the student’s arrival to school        

At the end of every school year, the School-family Partnership program sponsors Student Recognition Award ceremonies for successful students across the district. These award ceremonies are essential to honor and reward students whose achievements represent the best of PPS, and to inspire their fellow students in the coming school year. We’re excited to celebrate these students and are looking forward to sharing their stories with you.

Please congratulate all who participated.  They all were fantastic and made Benson Tech proud!

Hello PPS families and staff,

On April 4 I presented my proposed budget for the 2017-18 school year to our School Board. I want to make sure you know what our spending priorities are, and what they will mean for you and your PPS student or students.

This is a budget of difficult choices. We made extra cuts to central administration to prioritize direct services for students, but we still must make some painful cuts to our schools. Although the cuts will affect each school differently, they will be noticeable. This proposed budget is the first step in a long process, and we will be seeking your input and engagement as we manage this difficult fiscal climate.

CORRECTION: 2nd budget listening session is Tuesday, April 25
