Parkside families,

We are headed into some colder weather and months full of traditions and activities! We encourage you to continue having conversations at home about involvement in the many clubs and sports that PJHS has to offer. Some clubs are created as extensions of the classroom, while others are formed for peer interaction and pure enjoyment. Participation in these activities will strengthen ties to the school community and help our students connect with one another. Students who are involved beyond the school day are more likely to see positive trends in attendance, building friendships, and having a strong sense of belonging. Let us know how we can help your student belong at PJHS! Also, please remember to consistently check your student's team pages, homework sheets or Infinite Campus accounts. While we do encourage independence for our students, we also provide these for parent engagement and communication. Last please remind students that laptops need to remain charged and good habits should be set at night to make sure they are ready for school the next day. While we do have loaner laptops and charger cords at Parkside, these are on a limited basis. We appreciate your partnership at Parkside Junior High!

With Python Pride,

Karrah Jensen
