JCSD-NECC Open House and Virtual Training tonight from 5-7pm for parents and students in specific grade level sessions!
•Elementary Grades K-2 in Cafeteria
•High School Grades 7-8 in MPR
Masks are required.
JCSD-NECC IMPORTANT MESSAGE REGARDING SCHOOL RE-ENTRY:
Students will need to bring their own plastic reusable sealable water bottles. There will be no communal water fountains at school. At times during the day, a staff member will refill bottles for students, so they should come to school with a full bottle of water. We ask that students only bring water to deter sharing of flavored drinks. Clear bottles are best, but plastic is required. Students' names should clearly mark bottles. Please sanitize water bottles each day.
Cloth masks will also be provided for any student who doesn't have one. Please send students to school each day with a clean mask. Masks will only be removed when a teacher gives the students the okay. More information on masks will be released this week. Facemasks with political or offensive language or images are prohibited. Student handbooks address unacceptable language and images.
Changes to school arrival and dismissal will be communicated later this week.
JCHS 2021 Senior Portraits will be taken on Thursday, August 27. A schedule will be posted at a later date. See Ms. Hanry for questions.
