Genius Students Provide Tech Support for PHS:
As part of the 1:1 initiative at PHS this year, several students have become Mac Geniuses. Based on the program at the Apple Stores nationwide the PHS Genius team helps to diagnose and then fix student computer problems.
Genius students are available to assist other students during every class period of the day, and share a common homeroom and SRT period during 3rd hour. As the year progresses these students will help to not only supply technical support, but will begin to learn new Web2.0 programs that they can then teach to other students.
Parent Meetings-iParent University:
On September 7 at 6:30 PM in the PHS Cafeteria, Plymouth High School will be hosting iParent University. This short meeting will help to inform and educate parents about the 1:1 initiative at PHS, care and use of the MacBooks, and Internet safety at home.

Beginning on September 6 the PHS Cafeteria will be open daily from 3:30-4:30 for students to be able to access the school's wifi system and work on homework. During the initial phase students will be able to gain access to wireless internet so that they can work on homework, eventually the BPA (Business Professionals of America) students will be selling refreshments for the students while they study, and NHS (National Honor Society) students will be on hand to help with tutoring.
