February 2017

PJHS Parents and Students,

We would like to encourage all our parent and students to attend Parent Teacher conference tonight! It is a great time to sit down with teachers and get the real answers to questions like, “do you have homework?” Or “Why is your grade a ___?” Or my favorite, “I’ve turned everything in, the teacher is just slow grading it!”. But seriously, please attend and see the teachers you feel you need to. Thanks parents for all your help and support!

We will have a mixed doubles badminton tournament during school on February 14th! Sign up with Mr. Archer ASAP. If you want to play but don't have a partner, throw your name into a hat and we'll help you get one. WE ESPECIALLY NEED GIRLS! Show some girl power and sign up to play!

PJHS Parents and Students,

It seems strange how the weather can change so fast! It’s a distant memory of the snow, sliding on the road and the late start day. Students’ grades aren’t as easy to change. Please work with your students and help them stay caught up this term. We are almost to midterm! We will also have parent - conferences on Wednesday, February 15th! Please plan on attending with your student!

A group of our 8th-graders will represent thousands of others across the country on February 9, 2017! Known as The Nation’s Report Card, NAEP is the largest nationally representative and continuing assessment of what students in the United States know and can do.

Many of our students participate in extra-curricular activities outside of school and we would like to say congratulations to three young men who worked very hard to win the junior high level state wrestling title for club wrestling. They are:

•Michael Lowry took 6th in the 116 weight division
•Braxton Monroe took 2nd in the 160 weight division and
•Louis Williams took first in state in the 175 weight division.

Congratulations on your hard work!

PJHS Parents and Students,

We have seen an increase in tardies, some of this has been due to the weather and the snowy roads. Please make every effort to have students here on time. If they are late, please remember to send a note or call to excuse! You can call anytime and leave a message or respond to the email you receive.

 Once students are here we still have too many tardies! Please encourage them to be to class on time!
