Hi JCS families,

We hope that all students and families enjoyed the February Break and are ready and excited to return to school this week!

We’re all hunkering down and preparing for “Snowmageddon 2.0” and we hope that everyone stays safe and warm. School is already closed on Monday, February 23rd due to the forecasted blizzard. Keep an eye on the district’s website, Facebook page, and the ParentSquare app for information about any additional potential school closures or delays due to the weather.

We know that the Thursday ice cream service during lunches is popular for many of our students. In partnership with our food service provider, Chartwells, here is the schedule for February and March:

There WILL be ice cream service Thursday 2/26, Thursday 3/5, and Thursday 3/19

There will NOT be ice cream service Thursday 3/12 and Thursday 3/26
