Thank you, parents, for spending time with our staff over the last couple of days to talk about your child. We are so thankful we had the opportunity to meet with parents in person and virtually as we continue to journey through this year. We are praying you all have a good time off of school this week. Unwind, rest, enjoy your family and God's creation, take in the blessings of this season. Please continue to pray for our students, staff, school community, and God's world. We know God is hearing your prayers. Thank you, JCS Community! |
