Pope John's school email accounts -- ending in popejohnhs.org -- as well as any Google docs associated with those accounts are expected to stop functioning at the end of June. Students who need to contact classmates or teachers should do so soon.

PJHS students and faculty who have files on Google docs via the Pope John email account and want to save those files should use or create a new Gmail account and transfer the documents, photos, etc. to the new account by June 30.

Everett's Parlin Memorial Library has a nearly complete set of issues of Pope John's student newspaper, The Mercury, over the past 12 years, and, eventually, the papers will be digitized. The Everett public libraries will also have a complete set of PJHS yearbooks.

The summer solstice is Friday, June 21, at 11:54 a.m. EDT. On that day we will have 15 hours and 17 minutes of daylight. The days get shorter from there.

Maine and Vermont on Monday became the third and fourth states to pass laws restricting single-use plastic grocery bags, and advocates for similar legislation here are calling for Massachusetts to follow suit: wbur.fm/2XrCrpz

Congratulations to Cameron Erickson as he plays today in the Agganis All star Game at beautiful Fraser Field!

Congrats to 2019 Katty Haidul, Korine Haidul and Milana Margetson on being selected to the Agganis Girls’ All Star Game at 6pm at Lynn English HS! And congrats to Coach Feraco on being selected to coach the South All Stars!

Pope John's student email addresses cannot receive emails any more (although it does seem that in some cases they can send emails). Some students have written emails to teachers or staff and not received a response; this may be because a teacher or admin cannot write back to you.

If you need to reach a PJHS teacher or administrator -- for example, for a recommendation -- and you cannot otherwise do so, you can respond to this tweet or DM this account and The Mercury will try to put you in touch with that person.

FYI: It appears that PJHS faculty email accounts have now been disabled, as have student accounts.
