Cell Phone Parental Controls
Did you know that both iOS and Android devices provide built-in parental controls? These parental controls can be added to a specific phone or can be set-up to be controlled from a parent/guardian’s device. To find out more about how to set-up these parental controls, click the link provided.
Smart Watch Reminder
Just a reminder that students are not allowed to wear smart watches during the school day. Students will be asked to put their smart watch in their backpack with any cell phone they may have. They will be allowed to put their watch back on when they leave the building.
January and February Lunch Reservations
We ask that you eat with your child only. Friends will need to stay with their class during lunch.
Students are able to share birthday treats with their homeroom at the end of the lunch period. Students should not share treats with friends in other homerooms. This is for safety reasons due to allergies students may have.
In order to allow more families to come please limit your visits to one per month.

6th Grade Credit by Exam
6th Grade Math Credit by Exam
It's the time of year for our sixth graders to make plans for their 7th grade year at Peet Junior High. An important part of their plan includes making a decision about advanced math, which includes whether a student should take 7th grade level math, 8th grade pre-Algebra or 9th grade Algebra.
This is an important decision for all 6th grade parents and students. In order to provide you the information you need to know, we will hold a Zoom meeting on Wednesday, January 17 at 6:00PM.
