NO TUTORING for the SOUTH campus today!
The basketball games tonight have been cancelled due to Pretty Water not having enough to play.
Parents: Please have your children charge their Chromebooks and bring them to school tomorrow. Thank you.
Parents and Families: We are changing our menu again for tomorrow and will be having corndogs. This will be the only option. Apologies for changing again. Thank you for your patience as we work to get our cafeterias back to full staff.
Looking forward to having everyone back in person on Tuesday. The lunch menu options have changed for Tuesday and Wednesday. For Tuesday Option 1 will be Chicken Noodles and Option 2 will be Turkey and Cheese Sandwich. For Wednesday Option 1 will be Chicken Patty and Option 2 will be Peanut Butter and Jelly.
JT Family: All extra-curricular activities such as athletics and Good News Club have been cancelled for this week as well. The goal is to be in a much better situation next week to be able to have activities as usual.
Elementary Parents PreK-3rd: Please check class dojo daily. This will be how we communicate and assign assignments.
JT Family: As you know we have been battling this new strain of COVID since we got back from Christmas. The number of teachers and staff who have tested positive is higher than any point of this pandemic. Although we have battled and managed it appropriately thus far, we have gotten to a point that we cannot safely and logically supervise, transport nor feed our students. Every vital area of our school has been greatly affected. Because of this, we are going to go to distance learning Tuesday, January 11th through Friday, January 14th. Students will return to in-person learning on Tuesday, January 18th. Teachers will push out assignments through their class Dojo or Google Classroom. Hopefully, this will allow for some separation to greatly diminish any further spread. This is not a decision I make lightly nor without weighing all options. Thank you for your continued cooperation and understanding.
Parents of Junior High Students: This year's Science Fair has been scheduled for Friday, February 11. Students have been given the details and should have a letter coming home this week for you to sign. This is a graded science project that will require your student to put in time and effort. Students will present their final projects to a group of judges and winners from each class will be chosen. This is a fun opportunity for the students to explore topics that are interesting to them and I look forward to seeing their creativity! If there are any questions, please email: sstocks@justustiawah.com
6th grade tutoring has been CANCELED for today. Your student will follow their regular after school schedule. If changes need to be made, please call the office. We are sorry for any inconvenience!

With this in mind, as we weather this rise, staff and students are encouraged to wear masks for safety. Have a good evening.
JT Family: Because we had several students out prior to Christmas, we are postponing our 1st semester report card distribution until next Tuesday. Thank you for your understanding.
