Jayhawk Linn is celebrating 50 years of being a district!
We would like to invite you to celebrate with us at our Homecoming Football game, on Friday Sept. 23rd. We are inviting all 50 Homecoming King and Queen Candidates to the game to be recognized at Halftime. If you are, or know of, a Homecoming King or Queen from Jayhawk Linn’s 50 Years, please let them know and have them contact JLHS so you can be recognized at Halftime.
ALSO, our long time secretary and friend Shelley Cochran will be retiring from JLHS at the end of September. We are planning an Ice Cream Social for her BEFORE the homecoming football game, on September 23rd. We are SO thankful for Shelley and her years of service to our kids and our staff, we would love for you to come out and bring your best stories to share as well as wishing her luck on her new chapter.
So, make plans to attend the Homecoming Festivities on Sept. 23rd and celebrate 50 years of being a Jayhawk!
Reminder: Lifetouch will be here to take school pictures tomorrow morning in both buildings.

Medications at school: Prescription and OTC meds should be hand delivered by an adult household member and given to our school nurse. Do not send medications with kids on the bus or in a child's backpack due to the inherent risk to other children. Prescription meds given at school require doctor's orders that give our nurse permission to administer the med. Thank you for your help with these important steps that will keep all kids safe.

Dear Parent / Caregiver:
A student attending Jayhawk Elementary currently has Chickenpox, also known as Varicella. Although, this is usually not a serious illness, it does cause children to miss school, childcare or preschool while rash or symptoms are present.
Signs/Symptoms: Rash (small red spots or bumps that present as blisters and typically very itchy. Additional symptoms to watch for include: fever, runny nose, cough, headache, excess tiredness. If your child develops any signs or symptoms, he/she should not attend school until being evaluated. If you are diagnosed with Chickenpox, please contact your school nurse to review the guidelines for returning to school.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Lacey Earnest, RN

JES water fountains are open and will be cleaned frequently this year. We do welcome water bottles with lids to keep kids hydrated. Do not send soda, juice, tea, milk, etc. due to the difficulty it creates for cleaning our classroom carpets.
Please enter JES at the office entrance between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. today for informal P/T Conferences. Feel free to bring your child's school supplies and get settled in today. The Linn County Health Department is donating ear buds for all elementary students to use at school. They will also have school supplies available in our lobby for those who need them (while supplies last).
Reminder: 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.
Reminder: Junior High Volleyball practice starts tomorrow from 3:30-5pm. Be sure to bring practice shorts, t-shirt, knee pads and shoes. If you have not turned in a complete physical to the office yet, you must bring one tomorrow before you can practice.
