Resource Officer Jessee presents Emergency Preparedness to Mrs. Wood's Principles of Biomedical class. He covered topics like identifying types of emergencies, how to prepare, & what to expect from first responders. We appreciate him sharing his experiences with our students.
Senior students and parents of seniors - The Herff Jones company will be at school next Thursday, Feb. 10 during lunch mods to take cap and gown orders and to answer questions. Students received information regarding caps and gowns at the beginning of November, but many still have not ordered. The price will increase by $10 on March 1st. Students who are borrowing or not intending to participate in the graduation ceremony should notify Mrs. Stockton and their guidance counselor as soon as possible. Items will be delivered to the school sometime in April.

In Regards to the Pork Dinner Fundraiser for the 8th Grade Washington DC Trip,
If you purchased a ticket for the Pork Dinner Fundraiser for the 8th Grade Washington DC Trip this is a reminder that it is a "Grab-n-Go" style of dinner. Meals can be picked up between 5pm-7pm, this Friday - January 21, 2022. If you are picking up a meal, you will need to turn left on CR 75S, drive towards the Bus Garage, turn right onto the drive toward the Jr-Sr High School and then follow loop around the southside of the building (this is the same route that we use for our student pick up and drop offs). Please be patient when you get up to Door #25. Customers will tell us the number of tickets, hand us the tickets, we will then radio into the building the number of meals needed and then students will be running the food out to Door #25 from the Cafeteria. If you did not purchase a ticket, a meal cannot be given as all tickets were "presale." We look forward to having you and we appreciate your support!
Thank you and as always if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Mrs. Allred at callred@jayschools.k12.in.us or Mrs. Yadon at ayadon@jayschools.k12.in.us
