Bus 11 is stuck at the bottom of a hill it cannot get up. If your child has not been picked up, you can either bring them to school today or call the school to have them picked up. If they need to be picked up, it will likely be after the start of the school day. Thank you for your understanding.
Due to impending weather conditions, updated gathering restrictions, and the large number of quarantined students, the JT Christmas concert scheduled for tomorrow night has been cancelled.
We will make every effort to record our Christmas songs after the majority of students return, and have the opportunity to participate, and will post them on social media for everyone to enjoy!
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we all work with every obstacle that comes our way during this time. We are striving to create the best possible experience for every child and want to do our best to not exclude any of our wonderful talent!
So thankful to have the most wonderful JT students, parents, and spirit, around!!
Stay healthy and happy!
Merry Christmas!

JT School: JT Family: Unfortunately we have had two positive cases in our 5th grade.

The CDC has recommended some revised quarantine guidelines, and we are in the process of working with our local Health Department officials to get the appropriate guidance.
