Due to unforeseen circumstances of Covid 19, the district has declared there will be no 8th grade ceremony or award ceremonies of any kind. We are saddened to deliver this information, however, it is in the best interest of everyone’s health and safety at this time. All students will receive a final report card. All students are encouraged to submit completed packets by May 8. Those students that receive a phone call from Mrs. Rentrop must complete the instructional packets. More information to come. Go lumberjacks!

A Dropbox will be placed by the main entrance of school next week. Library books and Instructional packets are due in the PJHS Dropbox Friday, May 8 by 12 noon. It is mandatory for students in danger of failing to submit the completed instructional packets. Mrs. Rentrop called (or left messages) for all students in danger of failing. Parents may log onto Student Progress to view student’s grades. If you have any questions, please contact your child’s teacher via email for more information. All students that submit completed packets will be rewarded when school resumes. First and last name must be written on the front page of the packet to receive credit. Go lumberjacks!

We hope all is well! As a result of social distancing we were not able to send home proofs from spring photo day. We have created a website that you can use to view only the images of your child. To access the website, click on the following link and enter your access code (7 digit SIDNO) https://port77.com/gussman/  Your child's SIDNO can be found on student progress center. To order, choose BUILD ORDER. Order is shipped to your home. Browser suggestion: Chrome and Safari.  We know this is a new process and you are welcome to email questions to wgussman@atvci.net. If you do not know your SID #  we are happy to help out as well. Hope you are all safe and enjoying the extra family time under the circumstances.

Two important deadlines are quickly approaching for adding or changing your health coverage if you use one of the following options: 

• Medicare:  December 7
• Affordable Care Act (ACA): December 15

Gretchen Abraham from the FTC's Division of Consumer & Business Education has shared the following tips on the Federal Trade Commission's website to help you avoid being scammed:

For Medicare:

• There are no Medicare sales representatives. Anyone who tried to sell you Medicare insurance is a scammer. 
• You do NOT have to join a prescription drug plan to keep your Medicare insurance. Medicare Part D is voluntary and has nothing to do with your regular Medicare coverage.
• Telephone scammers posing as "official agents" may ask for personal information, offer free equipment or services, ask for a quick payment, or threaten you. Just hang up.
• Help with Medicare is available at medicare.gov or 1-800-MEDICARE.

For Affordable Care Act:

• Compare plans and quality ratings at healthcare.gov, where you can also enroll.
• This year, you can also sign up for an ACA plan directly with certain certified partners.  Make sure a company is on the Certified Partner list before giving them your information. 
• After you apply for ACA, you may get a phone call from the Marketplace asking you to verify information or supply additional information. If you are unsure about trusting the caller, ask the representative to mail you a letter with instructions for completing your application.
• Help for ACA is available from the Marketplace Call Center at 1-800-318-2596.  You can also meet with a local assistant in your community who will offer free assistance. Local assistance can be found through the Local Assistance tool.
