From C.Turner I greet the Pirate Nation with love, prayers, and well wishes. For my students, there will be messages to follow. For athletes, toe ups, stairs, and hills are your friends right now; jump stop to the fridge, volley with your mom. Play your instrument.

Mrs. Shirk's Classes Hope you are all making it through these crazy times. I have your next assignments in your packets. If you are in Personal Finance or Accounting I also sent digital copies via your school email. Computer Apps - If you have not sent me your 10 Day Digital Diary - please do so soon. All classes - I did not get your first assignments from some of you. If you are having difficulties please be sure to contact me. I am trying to reply to all messages in a timely manner. Take care of yourselves. Hope I will be seeing your smiling faces back in class SOON!!!!

Thanks to Pleasant Hope High School parents and students who returned work to be graded as well as picked up new packets. We had 211 of our 233 high school students stop by to drop off finished work and pick up new learning material. A sheet was provided with email contacts of all teachers. Please be in contact with them at all times to answer any questions you may have with individual classes. Feel free to email me as well at anytime. Students who did not make it up to pick up their packet have been mailed out today and you should receive them in the next day or so. Also, all students should be active on their google classroom capabilities as well as online materials. Thanks for being understanding and patient in these uncertain times. Please be safe, stay healthy, and take care!! Go Pirates!!!!

Message From MSHSAA regarding Spring Sports, Activities, and Practices MSHSAA Member Schools Superintendents, Principals, Athletic Directors, Coaches, and Officials; The MSHSAA Office has received several inquiries about spring sports and scholar bowl continuing this year. At this time, we are on hold for making a decision until we know more what the schools are going to do based upon their local health department, recommendations from the CDC, and state government. We are interscholastic activities and sports; therefore, if schools do not return to session this school year, then we cannot have a spring season. Right now there is too much unknown to make any decisions or adjustments, until we are later into April to see what happens with schools. Once the decisions have been made regarding education for the remainder of the year, we will determine our path. We are the tail, not the dog in this situation. MSHSAA is committed to the safety of our student-participants and the health of our school communities. Accordingly, in response to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations regarding public gatherings, schools are reminded that it is not prudent for any number of students to gather for workouts, regardless of how those students gather or whether any MSHSAA rules are broken by said gathering. While schools are closed due to the COVID-19, teams are not allowed to practice or participate in competitions. This includes informal/player-led practices or any type of instructional session. National, state, and local governmental leaders are clear: To help our country slow the spread of this pandemic, the best thing society can do is limit its interaction with one another. So, despite how difficult this may be, the MSHSAA office strongly recommends students, parents, coaches, and non-school coaches/trainers follow this advice. Doing so could ultimately end up salvaging the spring sports season.
