Reminder: There will be no school on Monday, April 21.
All state assessments have been administered. This week, a few students will be completing any makeup assessments that were missed.
We are excited to host Reality U on Thursday, April 24—a great opportunity for students to engage in real-world financial literacy experiences.
On Friday, April 25, students have the chance to participate in Jayhawk Gerry’s Fundraiser (JLHS Track). Whether you are joining the fun or cheering from the sidelines, we hope to see you there supporting this great cause!
Thank you for your continued support of our students and school community.
