Student and Parents - Today 3-24-2020 we made calls home to complete survey information and still have a few to go. Because of the quick work of staff members, pick up of your students personal belongings will begin Thursday at noon to 5:00 pm at both buildings. Friday afternoon (same time) we will also be available to pick up items. JES parents will use the carline and loop around to the front office area. High School will use the bus loading zone and stop by the front entrance. For those who signed up for lunch and breakfast we intend to have meals ready for you also. We will provide more guidance tomorrow. Please remain patient and flexible as we go through changing times together.
Here is a short video message concerning JLHS and our efforts at providing a continuous learning opportunity for students during these trying times.

Students and Parents- reminder this is planning week for our staff and moving to online and packet learning will require some patience and flexibility. Administration and Building leadership teams discussed today how teachers and staff members could deliver instruction through 3 teaching strategies, 1. Face to Face (10 students or less- 6 foot apart) 2. On-Line learning 3. Packet learning. We also sent out a survey to all parents today. Tuesday, we hope to make some phone calls home to people who did not answer the survey. Wednesday, we will bring back all certified staff to visit and plan instruction for students and start making contact with students and parents. Thursday, we will bring back the classified staff to work with certified and help bag up all of the students personal belongings to be picked up on Friday. We hope to have a "car line" at both JES and JLHS with meals (for those who request them on the survey) ready for parents to "pick up” with their students belongings (hours of operation on Friday will be determined soon). If you are unable to pick up your students belongings on Friday we will communicate a time that will work for you. During this time we will ask that you practice social distancing and wash your hands often. Children are not allowed in our buildings this week.
Reminder: there is No School for students next week March 23rd through the 27th. Please look at our live feed on our website or our facebook page for more information.
Reminder: there is No School for students next week March 23rd through the 27th. On Monday, March 23rd we will release a survey to gather information of your Internet capabilities in your home. We will also ask if you would like free breakfast and lunch delivered for your child. We are working on a plan to complete your students final weeks of school. We will use 3 delivery strategies to provide continuous learning: 1) take-home learning packets 2) online learning and 3) Limited face-to-face instruction. Please continue to monitor our website, district app, and/or district facebook page for the latest updates.
Finally, questions have surfaced concerning your child’s personal belongings and medications in the school. For medications, our school nurse will contact you to set up a time to meet at school and pick up medications. Access to your child’s belongings may occur the week of March 30th, if access to buildings is still allowed by our health agencies. We realize this is an unprecedented time, working together we will accomplish success.
