We as a community must do our part to keep everyone safe from COVID-19.

The work online and in the paper packets at the school are EXACTLY THE SAME. You do not need to pick up a paper packet if you have access to the online work.
Latest info:
Jena Junior High instructional packets have been created for each grade and will be available for pick-up anytime beginning Monday, March 23. They are located behind the office under the awning. If your student has access to online learning, weekly assignments will be posted on the JJHS website. The online assignments are the same as the paper packets, so you don’t need to get both. Your student is responsible for either online assignments or paper packets. Additional information for upcoming packets will be posted on the school website. We appreciate your patience as we work together through this situation. Thank you!
Memos from the office:
-
Even if your child did not earn the PBIS reward, they should be at school on PBIS days. The events rarely disrupt more than 1 or 2 classes. All other classes proceed as usual. (Remember: Absences count against them on the next PBIS, as well.)
