Happy, happy Friday! We wanted to remind families that students who are participating in our field day on Monday will need to make sure and bring a plastic/waterproof bag with a towel, change of clothes and shoes, sunscreen and deodorant with them.
Also, due to a scheduling conflict, 6th grade parents, our 6th grade students will not be touring the junior high on Monday. PJHS will host an open house in August; you'll be able to get information on schedules and clubs and tour the building at that time. Keep an eye out on the PJHS Facebook page for updates.
Finally, if you happen to move this summer, please make sure that you're contacting the campus that your child will attend to ensure that your mailing information is correct.
Have a safe and happy weekend! We have one more week to go!
