TGIF! We had such an amazing first week of school! Please continue to be patient with buses. We are short drivers at this time and many of our drivers are driving multiple routes. Please go on the JCS website and click on the transportation page. You will find a tab that will tell you the status of your child's bus. Have you updated your emergency contact? Information was sent home this week on how to update digitally. If you do not have access to a device please call our front office to set up an appointment and we can help you! Communication between home and school is paramount. If you have not joined Rooms this is the platform we use for communication. Please reach out to your child's teacher regarding this app. We invite parents to each lunch with their child. Every Monday, Kinder parents are invited, Tuesdays first grade, and Weds is for second grade. THIS WILL NOT BEGIN UNTIL SEPTEMBER 8th. ALL OF THE INFORMATION REGARDING LUNCH VISITS IS ON OUR WEBPAGE INCLUDING TIMES AND OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Want to volunteer in your child's class or in our building? You must join us for our volunteer training. Our first opportunity will be on 9/18 at 9:30 a.m. in our cafeteria.
Is your child a car rider? We will be sending laminated crayons with your child's name home with them over the next several weeks. If you need additional ones please reach out to your child's teacher. Our expectation is that you display these on your dashboard at pick up so that we know who you are picking up. If you do not have a crayon you will be asked to park and come into the building to get your child.
PTVO--WE ARE IN NEED OF PTVO OFFICERS. PTVO IS OUR PARENT TEACHER VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION. NOT SURE? PLEASE COME OUT TO AN INFORMATIONAL MEETING ON WEDS. 8/26 IN OUR CAFETERIA. WE ASK YOU COME TO DOOR 7.
HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND AND SEE YOU ALL ON MONDAY!
WELCOME BACK PANDAS! We are excited to Welcome everyone back for the 2026-2027 school year! Please take the time to read our Welcome Back Newsletter, you will find important information listed.
TGIF and Happy Summer!
I hope that you all have a fantastic summer break! We look forward to greeting our rising first and second graders and upcoming kindergarten students in August. Report cards came home today and inside are placement letters for our upcoming first and second grade students. Please remember that these are tentative placements and are subject to change due to staff, population and more. If you received a TBD on your child's letter it means that a teacher has yet to be hired.
Summer office hours begin on Tuesday, June 2, 2026 and run through Monday, August 11, 2026. Our hours are 9 a.m. -1 p.m. daily. We do check voicemail periodically, however the building will be closed with no office hours the weeks of June 15-July 6th.
We hope you stay safe and will see you all in August!

May Edition of the Panda Post!!!
CANVAS UPDATE: 5/8/2026
Canvas was down the evening of Thursday, May 7, 2026, due to a reported data breach. Early reports indicate this impacts over 8,000+ public schools, colleges, and institutions across the country. JCS is an impacted organization.
Indications so far are that the information involved includes student/staff names, JCS/WVDE-issued student/staff ID numbers (not social security numbers), email addresses, and messages between users on the platform.
JCS has no evidence of a compromise to internal district systems. Our Technology Team is actively assessing impact and implementing precautionary safeguards.
We will continue to monitor the situation and share updates as needed. For more information, visit the Instructure Incident Updates & FAQs: https://www.instructure.com/incident_update
Happy Friday!
