Remember to save your Pipkin’s receipts to earn money for the Sycamore Junior High PTO!

Pipkin’s will donate 4% back to Sycamore Junior High for all itemized receipts that are dated during the school year.  There is a collection box in the office – so send in the original, itemized receipts (not the credit card portion) with your student or drop them in the box yourself.  Thank you for your support!  Any questions, please contact Kamalini Chatterjee at kamalinic2000@gmail.com.

Make a Difference for Our School with Box Tops Fundraiser!


Box Tops for Education are an easy way to support Sycamore Junior High School!  Our next collection deadline is February 23, 2015, so keep clipping, clear out those drawers, and send in your Box Tops before that date.  Look for the large Box Tops collection box in the lobby by the Sports Drop Box!  Thanks!  For questions about the Box Tops program, please contact Kamalini Chatterjee at kamalinic2000@gmail.com.

SJH Athletic Department Introducing An On-Line Program To File Forms Electronically!

We are very excited the the Sycamore Junior High Athletic Department has partnered with FinalForms, an on-line program which will enable you and your student to complete and file MOST athletic forms electronically.  FinalForms is immediately available for all Spring athletes.  We are treating this Spring as a pilot program in order to gain more information on how the process works.  Our goals are to create a more manageable, accurate, and efficient database of information on our student-athletes.  We also feel that this system will greatly decrease the amount of repetititve paperwork that parents will fill out throughout the athetic year, as forms will only be required to be filled out ONCE per school year!
