It is our pleasure to congratulate our students that made the Principal's List and Honor Roll for the 1st quarter.  We recognize that it requires a significant amount of effort and dedication to attain the level of academic success that each of these students have reached.

Congratulations to Mrs. Donna Bartz for receiving the honor of October's Uplifter of the Month. Mrs. Bartz's warm heart and happy smile shines for all of her students and makes them feel welcome and loved EVERY day! She renews the happiness and joy within her students. We are truly blessed by Mrs. Bartz and are thankful to have her in the Third Grade at JCS!

The PTP meeting previously scheduled for Friday, October 27th at 8:30 a.m. has been postponed until Thursday November 16th at 8:30 a.m. Parents we know its been a busy school year and we've only just completed our first quarter, so with you in mind, we are postponing our kick off PTP Meeting until November. More information will be coming soon, but we want you to know that we truly appreciate and value your willingness to serve as part of our JCS Family.

JCS is pleased to announce our 26th Annual Veterans Day Ceremony featuring Congressman Brian Mast on November 10th at 9:00 a.m. Our Lower School, grades K5 - 6th, and our Upper School's Band and Choir, will be performing in honor of our amazing military men and women.
