PJHS Weekly Update

Hello PJHS families,

It was a wonderful week here at PJHS with many things happening. First, ten of our 7th and 8th grade students were able to attend the Holocaust museum in Skokie for The School Leadership Conference. We are so proud of them, as they represented our school in positive ways and shared ideas on how to help our community thrive. Way to go!

In addition, we had our winter dance on Friday and the students danced the night away, while playing, "Rock, Paper, Scissors" for a chance to get prizes. Thank you to all students who attended the evening, as well as all the volunteers and support received.

Below, you will see the information regarding our PJHS performance of "Charlotte's Web". Students in the cast and stage crew have been working hard to put on a great show! Please come out and support them. The performances will be on Saturday, March 1st at 7pm and Sunday, March 2nd at 2pm in the PHS auditorium.

Additionally, please keep in mind that special classes (Art, Computers, and Health) will end Trimester 2 on Friday, February 28th. Students will move to their third and final specials class for the year on Monday, March 3rd.

A couple of things to make mention of coming up...

***Any PJHS students who would like to audition for the talent show, auditions will be taking place on Tuesday, February 25th at 3:30 in the PJHS band room. The actual scheduled talent show date is for Friday, April 4th. All students auditioning are required to have their act ready to go!

Please see the attached document that explains the student Chromebook policy.

Parents, please assist with this and review with your child. The office has noticed a lot of phones being brought down for students using them or taking them out in class. Please refer to the policy and review with your child about phones being off and put away. I recommend to students either leaving them in their backpacks or lockers (locked up). If your child's phone is brought to the office for usage in school, the office will hold the phone until the end of the day and a consequence will be issued. If for some reason you or your child ever had to get ahold of each other, you can always call the office. Your child may also use the office phone if needed. We are trying to not only alleviate usage in school with cell phones, but also students loosing phones throughout the day. I thank you in advance for your support with this!

If your child is missing any items or clothing, there are multiple items on the front table by the office that need to be claimed.
