PRJHS Back-To-School Night

We are excited to invite you to Back to School Night at Pinelands Regional Junior High School on Thursday, September 26th, beginning at 6:00 PM. This is an important opportunity for you to meet your child’s teachers and learn more about the upcoming school year.

Upon arrival, please report directly to your child’s Homeroom/Period 1 class. The evening will begin with a brief welcome message from the Pinelands Junior High School administrative team, followed by an abbreviated version of your child’s class schedule.

Please note that this evening is designed to introduce you to your child’s teachers and classroom expectations for the year. It is not intended for in-depth discussions about individual student progress. If needed, a copy of your child's schedule will be available in the Main Office upon request.

We appreciate your participation and look forward to seeing you there. Thank you for your ongoing support in making this a successful school year!

Attendance Matters!

Student attendance plays a vital role in academic success at Pinelands Regional Junior High School. Being in school every day allows students to stay engaged with lessons, build strong relationships with teachers and peers, and develop consistent routines that lead to better learning outcomes. Regular attendance also helps students stay on track with assignments and classwork, reducing the risk of falling behind. We encourage parents to support their children by reinforcing the importance of being present in school, as it directly impacts their academic growth and future success. Let's work together to ensure a year of strong attendance and achievement!
