Due to a large number of positive Covid-19 cases in our district, USD 346 is cancelling classes and activities for Monday, August 30th. This will give us an opportunity to deep clean our facilities as well as give teachers the chance to contact students and families to help facilitate the learning needs of all of our students. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.
Due to recent events we will not be hosting or playing in the Three Rivers League varsity volleyball tournament this Saturday, August 28th.
Based upon recent events, the Varsity Football Jamboree scheduled for Friday Night August 27th has been cancelled.
As we try to make our OPTIONAL Test to Learn/Test to Play procedures more efficient, we would ask that parents/guardians who are driving their student to JLHS for testing please arrive between 7:30 AM and 7:50AM. Students who are able to drive themselves to school please arrive at 7:50AM. We will do our best to expedite the process and shorten your wait times. We appreciate your patience as we work hard to keep our students at school!

Unfortunately, USD 346 has experienced several positive Covid 19 cases which has caused a large number of quarantines in our schools. This year, we are implementing an option for students and staff who have been deemed a close contact that will utilize rapid testing and the use of masks. If a student or staff member opts to use the procedure, they may take a rapid test each morning and as long as they are asymptomatic and the test result is negative, they may stay in school. they will be required to wear a mask while in the quarantine procedure. Again, this procedure is not mandatory but does give the individual the option of remaining on campus and receiving regular instruction.

As we prepare for the beginning of the school year, it is important to know that the current Operations Plan recommends but does not mandate facemasks for students or staff. The USD 346 Board of Education will review the Operations Plan at their next meeting on August 23, 2021. It is also important to know that a Federal Order does mandate that students and staff riding in school provided transportation must wear facemasks.
