Jayhawk USD 346

JES will have our morning car line open again this year. We believe the morning car line will be safer and more organized than the random drop off we had last year. Please enter the car line on 5th and Locust and drop your children off at the south entrance each morning. Car line will open at 7:30 a.m. and close when our tardy bell rings at 8:00 a.m.

Interested Jayhawk parents and students are invited to attend-

As the beginning of school approaches, the Linn County Health Department is donating school supplies for Jayhawk Elementary students. They will have a table set up at JES during the open house on August 16th and will operate while supplies last. In addition, they are donating earbuds for all elementary students. USD 346 appreciates the Linn County Health Department's generosity and service to our students!!

During Open House on Tuesday August 16th at 4:30, specific staff members from JLHS will be available for some Q/A time in the auditorium - we would like to meet specifically with incoming 7th grade parents/students as well as people new to the district, but all are welcome! We hope to see you on the 16th.

Jayhawk Nation! With enrollment underway, we wanted to remind you one more time that the Federal Program that offered free meals for the last two years has ended. With the return of paid school meals, it is important for families to complete the free/reduced lunch application to determine whether your students might qualify for either a free or reduced price meal. If you have questions concerning the procedure, please call your child's school.

Jayhawk Linn Junior High and High School Athletes/Parents Jayhawk Linn Athletic Practices will be starting on August 15th this year three days prior to the first day of school. All athletes must get a sports physical prior to the first practice date. Complete physical forms can be picked up at the high school office between the hours of 8am-3pm every weekday or you can print the document off of our school website by going to the menu and click on documents, then click JLHS, then click athletics and scroll down to the KSHSAA Physical Form. If you have your physical completed bring your forms to JLHS office any weekday between 8am and 3pm so it can be recorded.

USD 346 Enrollment is right around the corner and school will be starting soon!!! Please remember that the program that provided free meals during the pandemic is no longer available. All schools will begin charging for meals again this Fall. We encourage all parents/guardians to complete the application for Free/Reduced meal plans. Please keep in mind, that the program does not offer a grace period this year, so you must have completed the paperwork and been approved in order to receive student meals at a free or reduced price.

Jayhawk Nation! As we get closer to enrollment and the beginning of another great school year, please remember that the Federal program that has offered free meals for the past two years has expired. School meals will need to be purchased again starting this Fall.
