The letter below was emailed to parents and staff on Thursday, Feb. 4, 2021.

Dear Parents,

Today the last group of our secondary students came back to school on the Hybrid model (students last name M-Z). The students are adapting well and everyone is happy to have them well. Check out how today went for Discovery and Grissom Middle School students …

Due to the COVID-19 situation, the IHSAA is allowing physicals from the 2019-2020 school year (those physicals dated after April 1, 2019) to carry over to the 2020-2021 school year. Therefore, a student-athlete who played last school year, the physical from last year’s sports season can apply for this coming year’s sports season. However, new student-athletes who do not have a previous physical on file with the school will be required to have a sports physical dated after April 1, 2020 to play for this school year.

We understand that many students need to retrieve personal items from the school and also need to return textbooks. Middle school material retrieval will be Wednesday, June 3rd;  Thursday, June 4th; and Friday, June 5th from 8:00 a.m. –  4:00 p.m.

For the SAFETY of all Grissom community members,  it is vitally important that ALL families adhere to ALL of the following guidelines.

The message below was sent out to all P-H-M staff and families the afternoon of March 12, 2020.

Dear P-H-M Families and Staff,

P-H-M is excited to offer Naviance to students in grades 6-12. Naviance is a college, career and life readiness web-based platform that helps identify and align students' individual strengths and interests to post-secondary goals, including college and careers.

Penn-Harris-Madison is pleased to introduce Naviance Student as a comprehensive website that you and your middle or high school student can use to make post-secondary plans. Naviance Student allows your student to engage in a variety of activities, such as:
