As we begin our athletic and activities seasons, please know that several leagues and schools have adopted safety requirements that might include (but not be limited to) the following: masks/facial coverings, temperature checks, social distancing, or even a limitation of the number of spectators allowed to attend. We will attempt to update you during those weeks that we are scheduled to attend locations with specific requirements or limitations.
At this Jayhawk Linn High School and Junior High is recommending facial coverings and social distancing at our home events.
JLHS had a fantastic start to the 2020/21 school year!! Thanks to everyone for the support and understanding as we work our way through some tumultuous times.
Clarification on the student learning logs: teachers are providing recommended timeframes for assignments and projects. These recommendations are designed to help students manage their time as our goal is to achieve 360 minutes of engagement each day that a student is working in a remote setting. Please understand that these recommendations are just a reference and that we understand that students may need more or less time than what is recommended. Please record the estimated time that the student was engaged with the activity on the log even if it is different from the recommendation. Please have students turn in their log to their HawkTime teacher on the first day they return to face to face setting each week.
Thank You!!
