Pope John XXIII High School has created an e-mail address for your child.  This email address is designed specifically for use within the Pope John community to promote greater academic collaboration and communication; therefore the e-mail accounts are restricted for that purpose. 

Students have received instructions on how to use this new e-mail account and setting their personal passwords through their English class. Students are expected to check this email account regularly. 

The Sr. Class of 2013 is hosting a community-wide Garage Sale; we would like to invite your club, team or group to this fundraising event.  

Event will be Saturday March 2nd, 2013 from 7:30 am to noon in our school gym. The cost is $30.00 for a 12X12 size booth. Booths will be reserved on a first come, first served basis. Please contact me as soon as possible to reserve your booth.

We will also be inviting outside vendors to participate starting in Jan, so act fast to guarantee your spot. This is a great way to clean out your clutter and raise money for your organization.

Thank you,

Ana Sanchez
