Special Notes, Week of 8-5-19
Team Letters: District-wide, we are moving to electronic communications instead of mailings. Student schedules and team letters will be delivered electronically on August 5.
Student Schedules: We will give paper copies to Language Arts teachers to hand out as needed at Back to School Night and/or the first few days of school.
Master Schedule: Link to Master Schedule
8th Grade Lunch Supervision Needed: We are still in need of supervisors for 8th-grade lunch. Please, everyone, don’t storm the door. Form a nice orderly line, and we will take volunteers on a first-come, first-served basis. :)
More Lunch Supervision Needed: If you know of a parent or community member interested in supervising at lunch, please let me know. It's $10 an hour! We need a few more people! Thank you!
General Supervision Schedule Revisions: Please take a look at the 19-20 supervision schedule. We are revising it to ensure that everyone has a chance to sign up for the open sections. Please add your name to any open time that works well for you. The document is open for editing.
Paraprofessional Openings: We continue to have two paraprofessional openings. If you know someone who is positive, professional and passionate, please ask them to give me a call. We are looking for a team member who is student-centered and interested/able to build positive relationships. Thank you!
Staff Update: Congratulations to Darcie Sivyer, new 6th-Grade Social Studies/Language Arts teacher! Welcome to the PJHS Family!
Student ID’s: Student ID's are needed when getting on and off the bus for all bus rides, including field trips and athletic events. The first replacement of student ID is free. After that, ID’s are $3.00 each. This will be handled in the office as it was last year using student accounts. Let's think of a plan to help our students keep track of their ID's.
Full 2019-2020 Calendar Link: As things are added or changed, I will add them in bold. If you see a problem or want to add items to the weekly notes or the calendar, please let me know.
Contact Information: If you need assistance, please feel free to call or text Suzi at: 217-274-2715 or DeAndre’s at: 309-212-1760.
