PHS 2nd Craft Students are currently experiencing Calligraphy writing and India ink with their chosen quotes. Keep up the good work!
Parents and Guardians:
Just a reminder that if a student is home sick with COVID symptoms, their siblings must also stay home as well until an alternate diagnosis is made by a physician or a negative test is received per the IDPH guidelines. We appreciate your continued cooperation in this matter!
PJHS will be holding students here at school until the storm moves through.
6th Grade Chromebook Update: We are planning to send Chromebooks home this week. If you have not paid your child's registration fees, they will not be able to bring their Chromebooks home. Please send in your payments as soon as possible. If you have questions, you may call the office.
Congratulations to Gavin Bland and Brynn Ade! They both received positive office referrals this week and signed our Wall of Fame!

Tips for Success
PHS Freshman Edition
We have just a few days until the start of the school year, so I thought I would release 5 last minute tips on high school success for the Class of 2025. Look for a new tip each day.
Tip #5 - Start the academic year strong. Do not fall into the trap of getting behind and then having to catch up. Get all your work turned in on time. If you are absent, get your make-up work done ASAP. Also, do not wait until you are failing to go to tutoring. Be proactive with your grades and check Lumen often. Getting caught up in high school is much harder than getting caught up in junior high.
