Grades, Grades, Grades

I try to update grades on my website, which will give a listing of individual assignments, every Friday.

Students or parents need to have passwords to access these grades, and the PowerSchool passwords don’t automatically transfer, so please email Mr. W. a request for a password if the site won’t allow access.

Please click here to get to the login page, or click over there —> under RESOURCES, where it says “Grades.”

There has been a bit of confusion. The “Login” button under META doesn’t link to grades. It’s a link to login to edit this website.

Please email me with questions: mrw.pvhs at me dot com. <— I post my email address like this because spammers send out “bot” programs to “sniff” webpages for email address to add to spamming databases. Please use the @ symbol for “at” and the . to replace the word “dot”.

School’s Out for Summer

I’m a bit late with this, but at least it’s still June.

PVHS Graduation - Class of 2008

This year just flew by.

This is my second graduation with Pahrump Valley High School, and this year’s was just as impressive as last.

I think my favorite part is when all of the graduates throw their caps into the air. I guess I’m sheltered having come from Las Vegas, but my graduating class was not allowed to throw caps (too dangerous?) way back in 1989, and in none of the graduations I’ve attended as a teacher have the students thrown caps.  I love it. It’s like throwing caution to the wind.

Here’s a link to my flicker stream of photos. Sorry, I wasn’t able to get very good photos sitting with the teachers and having only my phone.
