CHARACTER TRAIT FOR JANUARY:
HARDWORKING
END OF FIRST SEMESTER!
This year is going by quickly, and it is hard to imagine
that Friday, December 21, marked the end of our
second quarter of school. Our smooth journey to the
midpoint of our school year has been the result of great
students, talented teachers, and supportive parents!
Please look for grades to arrive in the mail around
January 10.
NEW WEBSITE!!!
Check out our new website at www.jcschools.us. The
address is the same, but the look is new and different!
Please take time to look over the website, and let us
know your thoughts!
SUPPORT OUR TEAMS!
Our boys and girls basketball teams have
a busy schedule through the month of
January. Please come out and cheer them
on. Admission to all middle school
sporting events is $2 for adults and $1 for
students. For more information on
