Dear Lower School Families,
As we approach Spring Break, the health, well-being, safety, and security of our JCS community of students, families, faculty, and staff remain our highest priority. JCS will continue to closely monitor updates and advisories as they become available concerning COVID-19 (Coronavirus). We are consulting with the Palm Beach County Health Department in conjunction with the CDC and the School District of Palm Beach County.
We have formed a Health & Wellness Preparedness Committee that is meeting regularly to proactively plan and ensure the healthiest learning environment for our JCS families. We are committed to keeping you informed of important changes, to safeguarding your well-being and safety, and to making decisions based on the latest public health guidelines and emerging information. We are also developing a distance learning plan in the event of a prolonged school closure.
Student Device Request I understand that taking the classroom to the cloud will require computing devices for all of our students. If you are in this situation, please click the following link https://www.jupiterchristian.org/cf_forms/view.cfm?formID=206 & COMPLETE THE STUDENT DEVICE REQUEST FORM SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A HELPFUL UNDERSTANDING OF HOW MANY DEVICES WE WILL NEED.
Classroom Distance Learning Information By Monday, March 23rd, students and parents/guardians will receive additional information from the classroom teacher on how to prepare for fully implemented online learning should this become necessary.
Lower School Grades 2 through 6 will utilize PlusPortals as the main form of communication for lessons, learning activities, and assignments. Teachers will also leverage IXL and BrainPop as resources for assignments, learning tools, and content.
I would recommend that parents practice logging into the Parent portal.
We receive new information daily on this rapidly changing health concern. As we continue our efforts to be prepared for the events ahead, we have sent home materials to best support their online learning experience should we need to close school for an extended period of time. We will continue to provide regular updates as we will continue to closely monitor new COVID-19 coronavirus cases and exposures. 700 S Delaware Blvd • Jupiter, FL 33458 • (561) 746-7800 |
