The Weekly Update #4

1 Quarter down, 3 left to go!

If you haven't already, be sure to login to Skyward and check to see your student(s) grades for the first quarter of the year. These grades are a great talking point with your students as they show how your students are currently doing and where there is room to grow throughout quarter 2 to determine their overall semester grade. If you have any questions, please reach out to myself or the classroom teacher!

As we transition between fall and winter, be sure to check out the school calendar to take in some great JC events, from the musical to the start of the winter sports seasons!

Johnson Creek Schools will begin using ParentSquare on Wednesday, November 4, to streamline school communication and help meet Wisconsin Act 89 requirements.

ParentSquare provides one convenient place for families to receive school announcements, classroom newsletters, and updates. Families will also be able to complete permission slips, sign up for volunteer opportunities, and communicate with teachers and staff.

Parents can customize their notifications to receive messages immediately or in a daily digest at the end of the day. Notifications can be delivered by text message, email, or both. Traditional email will remain an acceptable way to communicate with the school.

Watch for a SkyNotify message with more information about ParentSquare, its benefits, and how to get started.

The Johnson Creek 4-H Afterschool Club is officially ready for enrollment!

In 1952, Clarence “Pop” Wendt started a program to ensure that all children from families in need throughout Jefferson County would receive gifts for Christmas. Thanks to the generosity of hundreds of local individuals, organizations, and businesses, the Christmas Neighbors program continues to reach record numbers of local children. Last year, over 500 families received gifts through our Toy Distribution and Adopt-A-Family programs.

Jefferson County Christmas Neighbors is now accepting online applications for the Toy Distribution Program and will be accepting applications for both the Adopt a Family Program and Toy Distribution Program starting November 2nd via the phone lines! Please note you must be an active participant of a State-funded child welfare program, and be the legal guardian of at least one child (infant to 18 years of age) to be considered for acceptance into either program.

Eligible families can register online NOW for the Toy Distribution Program, or may apply for the Adopt A Family or Toy Distribution Program via our traditional phone lines (920-674-4499) which will be open Monday, November 2nd-Thursday, December 10th from 9:00 AM-4:00 PM, Monday through Friday.

If your child will be absent for any reason, please contact the MS/HS office. Attendance can be reported by either call or email. Please leave your name, the student's name, and the reason for the absence. An unreported absence will result in an automated attendance call to notify you that your child is not in school - these calls go out twice a day, at 8:20am and 6:00pm.

Attendance Email: ms-hsattendance@johnsoncreekschools.org

Attendance Phone: 920-541-4800 (option 2)

• Please notify the office as early as possible - this will give us the opportunity to have your student ready to go when you arrive to pick them up.
• You can park right out front of the MS/HS Office and if early notification has taken place, your student will come out when you pull up!
