PJHS Parent Weekly

Hello PJHS Families,

We hope you are all enjoying some extra time with family this long weekend! School will not be in session on Monday, April 6th. School will resume for students on Tuesday, April 7th.

This week, IAR make-ups will take place for students, so please make sure students are still bringing headphones or earbuds for testing, as well as a charged Chromebook to school!

Please see the Peotone Band Fundraiser information below, as the last day to contribute to this fundraiser will be on April 10th. Thank you in advance for your support!

Additionally, Mrs. Heron will be conducting informational meetings regarding travel opportunities for students for Washington and New York. Please look carefully below at the meeting information and register if you are interested in attending and getting more information about these opportunities.

Furthermore, the 8th grade dance will take place on April 24th. The details are included below. We look forward to a great and memorable evening!

As always, please look at the information from the PTO regarding any activities, events, or fundraising opportunities.

Please note that 8th grade graduation for PJHS students will be on Thursday, May 21st at 7pm at Peotone High School (more information to come).

We look forward to another great week ahead,

Thank you!

It has been around 5 years since the last time this program has raised funds for the band program and unfortunately it shows. We are in desperate need of classroom necessities (valve oil, mouthpiece cleaner, etc.), percussion mallets and sticks, tools for repairing parts, new marching equipment, assisting technology for learning, and the list goes on and on. For as little as $5, you can create a better future for our music students and give them opportunities and equipment to present their best self!

Please see the attachment regarding E-Learning expectations and procedures for PJHS, along with the E-Learning Schedule.

Please look over the student handbook for all policies and procedures for Peotone Junior High.

Please refer to the Chromebook policy for PJHS students. Please also try and remind your child to charge his/her Chromebook everyday to limit infractions of the policy.
