Parents - U of Chicago 5 Essentials Survey
The 2023 Illinois Parent Survey is closing soon and we’d still very much like our parent community to give feedback on our programming at PJHS. The parent response rate for Park is 18% for the 2023 Illinois Parent Survey. As a reminder, schools need 20% of their parents to respond in order to receive a report. So, we are about 13 to 15 parent responses away from being able to receive our report generated from Parent Responses. The survey window will close on March 31, 2023. Please plan to complete the survey soon. We’d appreciate hearing your thoughts and comments.

SeasonOpener Celebration - All Building Event
On Thursday, April 6th during student lunch periods, we will celebrate the opening of the Sox and Cubs baseball season with a special lunch for staff and students of fresh grilled entrees, like burgers and hot dogs. To plan accordingly, we need to have an idea of how many students might like to eat one of these selections. Please take this simple 2-question survey to help us plan. THANKS SO MUCH TO THE 90 PARENTS (13%) WHO’VE ALREADY RESPONDED THROUGH TODAY, FRIDAY, MARCH 24TH.
NOTE: We cannot guarantee that your child will have the food selection that you’ve chosen in the survey and your child(ren) is not obligated to have the food you’ve selected in the survey. We will do our best to plan well to make sure this lunch period is special and enjoyable for everyone. The survey will be open until Monday, April 3rd, 2023.
SmartWatch Policy
Effective Monday, March 13th, students are being asked to place any and all Smartwatches in their lockers or secure location with their cell phones. We have noticed an increase in students distracted with receiving messages from outside the school, messages inside the school from other students on their smartwatches and texts from friends, both inside and outside the school. To reduce the number and amount of distractions we are seeing impact our students’ learning, we’d ask that all students please respect the “Away for the Day” policy regarding cell phones and smartwatches. Parents are still encouraged to contact the front office with any emergency calls for their students.
