Next year's preliminary schedules were handed out in paper form June 8th during 6th period. If parents or guardians haven’t already, please allow a few moments to review your student's schedule for accuracy with them. Look it over carefully. One of the learning goals the Counseling Department has is minimal impact to the first week of school in regards with schedule changes and this equals less disruption of class time which translates to learning. Allowing all involved to review their schedules early, providing opportunity for more eyes to view and act upon in a timely fashion is a major action in accomplishing the learning goal.

Peninsula
High School and radio station KGHP-FM were well-represented
during the third annual Washington State High School Radio
Conference and Awards ceremony taking place at Nathan Hale High
School in Seattle.
Several Peninsula students earned state honors for their
broadcasting prowess. Junior Kellie Blauvelt (pictured) was
honored for first place in the category of Best News Features
for her story on a student-produced and directed fashion show
from January.
KGHP staff members coordinate the event. It has been hosted at
Peninsula the past two years. The event shifted to Nathan Hale
this year in order to showcase that school’s renovated radio
station (KNHC-FM), studios and facilities.

Our
counselors have sent out letters along with registration
forms suggesting a class for summer school for students
who need to retrieve credit.
Washington State History, Credit Recovery and HSPE/WASL
support classes will also be offered this summer. If
your student either did not take the course at one of
our district’s middle schools or failed the course, this
summer might be an awesome opportunity to complete this
graduation requirement.
Below is a direct link to the Summer School Website for
further information from Ron Witter. Please contact your
student's counselor for more specific information via
the phone or through email.
The dates for the summer school are July 12 - August 5,
8 am - noon. There will also be limited bus service.

You Can Help With School Improvement! |

To
improve school quality and help students learn, school personnel
need to identify their strengths and areas needing improvement.
Obtaining your views about your school is an important part of
this process. The survey on the following pages was developed to
generate discussion that can help your school improvement
efforts. Each of the statements in the survey relate to one or
more of the nine characteristics of high-performing schools.
It will take you about 10 minutes to complete the survey. To
ensure your responses remain confidential, your ratings will be
combined with others and reported as a group. Completing the
survey is voluntary, although we encourage you to respond
honestly to help your school get a complete understanding of
everyone’s views.
Here are the survey links:

A recent study has revealed that smoking leads to lower levels of IQ in the long run. According to
www.dailymail.co.uk, the study conducted by a group of researchers found that long term smoking habit among young people led to a considerable dip in the levels of intelligence as compared to those people who refrain from cigarette smoking. The research was conducted on a set of 20,000 adults which clearly established – the more one smokes, lower the IQ level goes.

Over the course of the last weekend five Peninsula Athletes competed in the 2010 Mat Classic XXII at the Tacoma Dome.
Congratulations to Junior Wes Wynn, Sophomore Tyler Allen, and Senior Austin Wright who proved they are in the top 16 elite athletes by their participation in this coveted event.
Also, two athletes will be honored in the PHS Matroom for their State Placement success: Senior Chase Oswalt placing fifth in the 160lb division and Junior Micheal Sly who placed seventh in the 171lb division. There is nothing easy about hand-to-hand combat with a another well trained fighter and these young men proved they can handle themselves amongst their best peers from across the state. Great Job Hawks; your school, team, coaches, and family are all proud of your hard work and accomplishment.

Many physical changes occur in the brain and body as a result of tobacco abuse. These physical changes can make learning and concentration more difficult and can negatively affect school performance. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (1988) some short-term effects of tobacco use that can impede student performance include:
1. Decreased attentiveness and activity, caused by the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
2. Increased absenteeism associated with cold, bronchitis, and asthma due to weakened immune systems.
