Weekly Parent Post

December 9-13th

Good morning PJMS families!

Wow! It's December already and the end of Semester 1 is quickly approaching! Please check your students grades and make sure they are getting in any missing work!

We get an alarming number of students coming to the office who don't know their parents' phone numbers! This is a huge safety concern! Please help your kids memorize important numbers in case of emergencies! Our weather has been so unpredictable lately with the freezing rain making roads and parking lots dangerous. We are doing our very best to keep our parking lots sanded, walkways salted, and buildings safe, please do your part by making sure you and your children have cleats and/or foot gear with good tread! Is your contact info current? We have been having lots of emails, progress reports, and newsletters bouncing back to us as well. PLEASE make sure your Addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses are updated in Synergy. These avenues are how we contact you and we need them to actually get to you! If you are not able to edit info on ParentVue, you can open OLR (Online enrollment) and make all the changes through there. Thank you for your help with these important issues!

Do you want to give back to your children's school AND get paid for it? WE NEED SUBS! Visit the district substitute page for more information. matsuk12.us/business-departments/human-resources/substitute-resources.

Thank YOU for the generous donations of turkey and ham for our holiday meal! If you would still like to help, we could use desserts and whipped topping! You can drop your donations off at the front office from 7-3PM. We are looking forward to eating all together on Friday!

Currently, the clubs we are offering are Ham Radio, Walking club, Dungeons and Dragons, Battle of the Books, and Weightlifting. Our Study Hall is free again this year. Current sport is 6th grade basketball.

Have a great week PJMS families!

We feed over 600 students and they get to share stories and laughter with other students as we celebrate together the holiday season before Christmas break.
