Parent-Teacher Conferences
On parent-teacher conference days, students will be in attendance for only a half day on Thursday and Friday of this week. Classes will be from 9am - noon only. Lunch will NOT be served on 10/27 and 10/28.
Please arrive at the school 5-10 minutes before your scheduled conference time in order to give yourself extra time to find a parking space and/or make your way to the teachers' classrooms. Julian staff will be on tight conference time schedules, many with back to back appointments. So it is very important to be on time for your conference appointment. We thank you in advance.

Hello 8th Grade Families!
We are so excited to have students from Julian and Roosevelt Middle School join us on tomorrow morning, October 24th for Future Huskie Tours. The 8th graders will join us here at OPRFHS beginning at 9:30am, where they will be welcomed by our cheer team and Hemmy the Huskie. They will then proceed to the auditorium for a brief introduction to the high school presented by our Student Activities Coordinator, Athletic Director and Principal. Following this presentation, they will break up into groups (determined by the middle schools) and our amazing Leadership students will guide them through the school, popping into classrooms and other important stops along the way. After the tours, the 8th graders will have an opportunity to ask questions of the OPRF students and staff within their groups. The entire tour will end at 11:00am and the 8th graders will return to Julian in time for lunch.
● Please note, there will be additional opportunities for families of incoming freshmen to visit and learn more about OPRF. Detailed information will be provided as the dates near, but as an

The Julian Book Fair returns!
The Julian Book Fair will be next week, on October 27 and 28 during parent-teacher conferences. We are excited for our Jayhawk parents/guardians, as well as the students and staff!! Let’s make up for the last few lean years of virtual fairs, while encouraging our kids to read more! Here are the top 4 ways you can help:
VOLUNTEER for a shift at the book fair using this LINK
Email your child’s advisory teacher and ask them to create a wishlist.
Send your kid to school with some cash to get some early shopping in during lunch recess on Mon, Tue, and Wed of that week. A selection of books will be set up in the library. Students may have the opportunity to go to the fair with one of their classes on Thur or Fri, too. There will be a raffle too, giving away books and gift cards to some local places.
SHOP! The book fair will be open to parents/guardians during conferences. You can use cash, check and credit card during these open hours:
Thur. Oct. 27 from 9 am - 8 pm
Fri. Oct. 28 from 9 am - 12:30 pm

Student IDs must be worn during the school day
Parents/Guardians,
Julian students are asked to wear their school IDs every day while at school. We are in need of your help in making sure that every PJMS student wears their school ID every day.
During the first quarter to help our students get in the habit of wearing their IDs, PJMS has provided our students with lanyards to ensure they can most appropriately be identified, etc.
Starting October 24th, we are going to require all students to wear their IDs at all times at PJMS. Students who need a lanyard will be charged $2 for a replacement lanyard. Students who need a new school ID will be charged $3 to replace their ID's.
Please help us keep the building safe by talking with your student, encouraging them to wear their school ID at all times while at PJMS. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact one of our Administrative team members for further details.
Thank you,
PJMS Administration

Thank you in advance for your support!
