In this season of giving, we are asking our JCS families to help us provide items for our Christmas Ministry to children at Bow Down Church in West Palm Beach (Pastor Chris Tress is a JCS graduate), as well as Casa Shalom Orphanage in Guatemala, where JCS graduate Harper Severance is a missionary.  Your generosity will make such a difference for these children!

To donate supplies, please see the attached lists:

• East Campus: Give your donations to your teacher.
• Lower School: Give your donations to your teacher or put them on the table outside the

            Teacher Workroom or Upper School Office.

• Upper School: Put your donations on the table outside the Upper School Office.

Please also keep in mind over Christmas break, that when we return, we will be collecting jeans that are in good condition to send to Casa Shalom.

Enjoy a night out and leave the kids with us!

Upper School Families: We are approaching the close of the 2nd quarter (Dec. 20). Please take a moment to review the 1st Semester Exam Schedule. 

Please note the following:

• It is very important that students be well rested and present for all exams. Make-up exams are for emergencies only and require prior approval from the Principal's office.
• Exams are from 7:55 a.m. – 11:55 a.m. Please drop your student off no later than 7:40 a.m. so that they can go to their locker and be in their assigned class and ready to start by 7:55 a.m.
• Dismissal time is 11:55 a.m. daily.  Please allow your student at least five minutes to get out of class and get to car line.
• If your student is not scheduled for an exam during a particular period, they are not required to be on campus. We will, however, be offering a study hall in the Media Center daily from 7:55 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. for your convenience for any student needing a place to study when they do not have an assigned exam to take. 

If you have any questions or concerns please contact their teacher, guidance, or the Upper School office, we are here to help. 

Please be reminded that Friday, December 20th is an Early Release Day and there will be NO Extended Care. Wishing all of our JCS families a blessed Christmas break!

This year our JCS families have the opportunity to join together and participate in Year-End Giving to support the growth of our school through the Soaring Eagles Annual Fund for the 2019-2020 school year! The Soaring Eagles Annual Fund is a yearly opportunity for the JCS community and our friends to support the growth of the school through annual giving. Tuition and fees cover the basic costs of educating students at JCS, and every dollar raised through the annual fund helps us not only sustain our current programs but will allow us to grow them and add new ones to enhance the JCS experience for years to come. Details are available on our Soaring Eagles Annual Fund webpage, along with a link to contribute to the fund and be a part of making a difference in the future of JCS students. 

Would you like to be a part of this exciting opportunity to support the growth of our school? To learn more about our Idea Lab and hear specifics of our 3-year Strategic Plan and four Imperatives, please contact JCS President Dr. Dave Breslin or Chief Advancement Officer Darlaine Sisk or call 561-354-1917.
