Non-Resident Student ENROLLMENT

Transportation

Question: Does P-H-M offer transportation / buses?

School Calendars

Question: What is the best way to know about major events at my school and within the district? 
Answer: Between 15 schools and 11,000 students, there is a LOT happening at P-H-M throughout the entire year. Each August, every P-H-M family will receive a physical calendar in the mail with key dates on it. These dates are tentative and subject to change but are an excellent starting point. Once enrolled, the school district and individual schools use a service called “ParentSquare” to communicate directly with families. See the links below.

• The  calendar shows start and end dates, as well as scheduled recess and vacation dates
• The District also maintains an online calendar, as do each of the fifteen P-H-M schools which are each school’s individual website (click here for our school directory)
• Once enrolled, ParentSquare is the go-to tool for direct communication with families

School Fees and School Supply Lists

Question: Does P-H-M charge “Book Fees” and send out school supply lists before the start of school?
Answer: P-H-M does not charge Textbook or Curriculum fees in compliance with Indiana Law. We go one step further in providing a majority of the supplies that students need so we do not send out school supply lists either. As students get into the higher grades occasionally families will be asked to purchase specific items for a class or lab, that will be communicated with families directly.
