Week 7 JTHS Remote Learning – Message From The Principals

Press release from Joliet Township High School District 204 :

Oct 2 2020

Dear Parents and Students,

The first progress reports were issued on September 29 and are available on Campus Student and Campus Parent. If you have not checked progress reports yet, please do so. We want to remind students that every assignment counts. Zeroes can have a big impact on your overall course average. Even if it seems like that 5-point assignment won’t make a difference, completing all your assignments will help your final grade. View the Video that Demonstrates How a Zero Impacts a Grade

The 2020-2021 Grading Calendar is below for your reference.
