PBJHS News and Notes
#BackToSchoolEdition
Meet the New Principal
Every month I will be sending out this parent newsletter with information to keep you all involved. If you ever have questions or concerns, don't hesitate to call, email or come by and see me. I want this journey to be the best for our students and their families. Communication with families and community is one of my number one goals! You can find very up-to-date information on our school Facebook and Twitter pages (@pbjhs) and also on our school website: http://jh.poplarbluffschools.net/
Changes at PBJHS for 2017-2018
- Chromebooks- Our students will be using Chromebooks this year in the classroom. Computers will only be used at school and will not be taken home.
- 8 hour day- We have changed the schedule and shortened the class periods just a little bit to allow students to choose two electives per semester.
- ICU- We will institute the ICU program. This means all students will complete all assignments. No zeroes will be allowed. This will be done in lunch detentions, elective pull-outs and after school. Parents will be notified of missing assignments.
- Math Intervention Class- We will be offering a math intervention class (semester based) for students who need a little extra help with some foundational math skills
- School Store- Our students will get the opportunity to shop in our new school store! 7th/8th graders will be allowed to go in during lunch and also receive coupons to shop for good attendance and behavior. The school store is schedule to open during first quarter
- Outdoor Eating- We have added a space for outdoor eating with tables and umbrellas for students beginning in September. We owe a big thanks to Buffalo Wild Wings for donating tables and chairs for us and to Pepsi for donating umbrellas!
