Parents and Students 4-8-2020. We need your help to keep our kids safe and slow down the spread of COVID-19. Most of you are doing an awesome job of staying at home so we can get back to normalcy quicker. Some of you still believe this will not impact your life or a loved one even if you are a carrier of the virus. USD 346 has been working closely with the Linn County Sheriffs office to report any student gatherings that are not a part of the stay home order. Attached you will find overview of the Kansas Stay Home order, please take heed to these guidelines written by our Health officials. We are blessed to live in a community where Law Enforcement, Health Officials and Schools work closely with one another to keep families safe.
Junior High and High School Parents who would like access to Schoology platform please email our technology help desk. They will send instructions for setting up your account.

JES students completing paper packet assignments are asked to email pictures of completed work to teachers. For those who can not email pics, a drop box for finished paper packets is located outside of the JES office. Make sure student name is on all papers and the envelope.
Thanks to all of you for your efforts this week. I am very proud of our staff for their work. I am very proud of the students who rolled up their sleeves and got to work, and very thankful to all of our parents and patrons for your patience.

Parents and students 4-3-2020. This week we fed over 4000 meals to the children of our district. Teachers have rolled out learning for your students and we are desperately trying to find a "new normal" for school. As for food service about 3 to 5 families a day who "missed the bus". If you know you are not going to be present to get your meals please call the school and cancel your order for that day. We expect your child to be at the bus stop on time and should not have to call or honk the horn before they come out of the house. Educationally, we expect all students to participate in the continuous learning opportunities offered by the district to the fullest extent possible, without placing additional burdens and hardships on our families. If you have trouble with connectivity or understanding assignments please email or call our staff and we will gladly assist students and families overcome barriers and obstacles. On the lighter side, one student recently asked me, "do you really expect us to do our assignments?" My answer, "only if you want to pass your class and graduate".
Attention high school & junior high parents and guardians. Please read this message at the following link from JLHS yearbook staff.

Parents and Students 3-30-2020. Today was a great day of caring for the children of USD #346 by our staff. Teachers have been busy getting Continuous Learning Plans ready for your child. Meanwhile, food service, bus drivers, and classified staff prepared and delivered over 425 meals. As a reminder on food deliveries - we can NOT touch anything on your property. To keep social distance and keep our employees safe we cannot ring your doorbell, put meals in your cooler, in your trunk, in your mailbox, or in the seat of your car (today's requests). Thank you for understanding why we cannot touch a surface you have touched. Buses M2, M4, M7, and 3 suburbans will travel their routes tomorrow with over 600 meals. Wednesday is curb side pick up in the JES teachers parking lot (bus loop) and will have about 900 meals served on that day. Reminder: curb side pick up of meals is every Wednesday 11 to noon...
JLHS Continuous Learning Plan has started rolling out to students. Please be patient with us as we are in uncharted territory. Please understand that each teacher faces unique challenges based upon his or content and the needs of the class being rolled out. Our intent is to release material and classwork slowly so as to not overwhelm students who are also facing a reality unlike anything they are familiar with.
We know that what works for one student or family may not work for others and that we will need time and communication to get those plans in place for everyone.
Teachers and staff have your best interest at heart. They want to help you and they want you to succeed. Feel free to communicate issues or concerns with your teacher or with Mr. Thomas and Mr. Holt.
We WILL get through these tough times by working together.
Continuous Learning Plans will roll out this week. Expect initial contact from teachers by this Friday April 3rd. Initial contact may not contain assignments. Please be patient as teachers test communication platforms and check on students before assignments are handed out.
Stay Safe!
I hope all of you are safe and sound! Here is another video update to end the week with. Huge shoutout to the staff at JLHS and JLJHS! Everybody stepped up huge this week and helped make our Continuous Learning Plans a reality!!
