Spiritual emphasis week will be September 27- October 1 and is a weeklong exercise in spiritual growth. The focus will be this year’s schoolwide Be an Example reflecting on the verse found in 1 Timothy 4:12 “Don’t let anyone look down on your because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.”
This year will look different than prior years as there will not be a need for Serve Day drivers, popcans collected for Georgetown Harmony Homes, or baked goods delivered to church and local public service offices. However, on Tuesday, September 28 we are hosting a presenter – Jan Merz from BucketFillers101.com – and she will share with us the application for the book by Carol McCloud – Have You Filled a Bucket Today? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qet_yLlCCIo. Watch your teacher communication for more details.
We are excited and thankful for efforts from teachers and administration to observe this week with chapels, connecting the theme intentionally in the classrooms, and having Jen Metz speak. Praising God for 11 consecutive years of introducing the school theme into the hearts of us all!
If you’d like the opportunity to add this book to your home library or give as a gift, please click here to pre-order your paperback copy - $10.

The Passing on the Faith drive for JCS kicks off this week! Each Fall we partner with J. Milito and Associates to call on the JCS community to ask for donations to our school's annual fund. Our goal this year is to raise $160,000 for annual needs at JCS (supplies, field trips, tuition assistance, extra-curriculars, etc.). We value the continued support we receive from our families and community in meeting these special needs at JCS! Thank you for your support!

If your child will be absent from school (due to illness, dr. appt. etc.), it is very important to call the absentee line at 457-3307 and leave a message. Teachers may not have read email or seesaw before taking attendance and therefore the absence is not reported to the office. Also, if you need to pick up your child for an appointment, etc. you will need to come into the school office and sign them in/out on the ipad that is on the front counter.
-
Visitors are still limited at this time in the school building. If you need to have something delivered to your child, please bring it to the school office where we have a shelf system you can put it on. We will then notify your student's teacher so that they may come and get it when they have a break.
