Getting students to class on time has always been a challenge in high schools. In this episode, we look at how PGHS approaches tardies—our policy, the wins it’s brought, and the bumps along the way. You’ll hear perspectives from both teachers and students on what’s working and what still needs attention.

In this episode we hear from social studies teacher Mr. Newman about a teacher's perspective on attendance. Why is student attendance important? What obstacles do our students face regarding attendance? What can parents do to support student attendance? We discuss all of these questions and more.

In this episode we talk with Mrs. Annie Lavin, a math teacher at PGHS about her perspective on our cell phone policy. We discuss how has it affected teaching and learning in her classroom, common concerns, and how parents and teachers can work together in minimizing the negative impact of cell phones on student learning.
