Locker Clean Up & the Lost and Found
Locker clean up will be happening soon! Please help us in reminding students to begin taking items home and cleaning out any trash or old items. With Thanksgiving Break around the corner, this will help alleviate any mice or smells that could be left behind.
ALSO! Please remind your student to check the lost and found! It is overflowing with many lost water bottles, sweatshirts, shoes, pants, school supplies and more! Families are welcome to come search for any missing items during Parent-Teacher Conferences on Monday, November 18th from 11:00AM to 7:00PM. It is located right next to the Main Office. You can't miss it; it looks a lot like the picture!

Physical Education Swim Reminder
Dear PJ Jacobs Families,
This letter is to inform you about the PJ Jacobs Junior High swim unit. The goal of this unit is to provide beginner to advanced level instruction including safety skills to grades 7-9. Our 1st semester swim unit will run from Dec. 2nd - 13th. The girls will swim from 12/2 - 12/6, and the boys will swim from 12/9 - 12/13.
The swim unit will last a total of 5 class periods. Please remind your child to bring a swimsuit, towel and anything else they will need to be successful in the pool (ex: goggles, swim cap, etc.). Swimsuits/swim trunks must be school appropriate. Girls are encouraged to wear a one piece suit. If a two piece is worn then a t-shirt should be worn over. Boys can wear athletic shorts but must have a waist tie.
It is important to note that any missed swim classes MUST be made up in the swimming pool either during lunch or during an after school swim make-up day. The ONLY exception will be if a student has a signed note from a doctor excusing them from the swim unit due to a health concern. In this situation the student will need to complete an alternative assignment to receive participation points for the swim unit. Please let the PJ Jacobs PE staff know if you have any questions. We are looking forward to a few great days in the pool!
Sincerely,
PJ Jacobs PE Staff
