These events will provide families with the opportunity to walk through our classrooms and meet your child’s teachers while hearing about currriculum plans and activities in each class. Families will walk-through an abbreviated version of your child’s schedule. This event is intended for parents of students and the children do not need to attend. If you are unable to attend, printed materials will be shared after the event. The 7th Grade Parent Information Night will be Tuesday, September 3 from 6:00 - 7:30.

We are excited to introduce our new teaching and learning website, thoughtfully designed to provide families with the latest information and a rich array of resources to support student success and engagement. This website serves as a one-stop hub for everything you need to stay informed and involved in your child's educational journey.

We are excited to share that our staff members will continue to use a safe and easy to use two way communication tool called TalkingPoints to communicate with families. Families have three easy ways to use TalkingPoints to communicate with your children’s teachers for free! You can use text message, download the app or use it on the web at https://talkingpts.org/families/.

Jonathan Alder Local School District is fully committed to the safety and well-being of our students and school community. That’s why we’ve taken an important step to enhance personal safety and provide a positive learning environment for all students. Jonathan Alder Local School District is now using the Stay Safe. Speak Up! Student Safety Reporting System (powered by PublicSchoolWORKS). Stay Safe. Speak Up! is a comprehensive reporting tool that allows students, parents, and staff to submit safety concerns to school officials. You will find a reporting button at the top of our website homepage. Please also see this letter to learn more about reporting safety concerns quickly and easily to district and building administrators.

Please take time to read this document about the importance of literature selection and our partnership with students and families in this process.

Please review this link to learn about our personal communication device policy updates.

Please be sure to complete all of your back-to-school forms on Final Forms. Student fees are $30 per student and can be paid in the school office.

Moving forward, we are only able to accept checks from parents and/or students made out to the following:

• Jonathan Alder Local Schools
• JA
• Jonathan Alder

Sometimes parents ask that school personnel administer medication to their child during the school day. When this is necessary, we require written permission and instructions from the parent and in some instances from the doctor. The required form must be completed and turned in to the junior high office with the medication to be administered.
