Exciting news for our district! Johnson County Superintendent Thom Cochran recently announced that an agreement had been reached with ARH Connected Care to provide a licensed Nurse Practitioner full-time to the district. Students, staff, and their families all may utilize her in person and telehealth services. The attached flyer has more info as well as the QR code for the ARH paperwork. This is an awesome bonus service that the district is proud to offer to everyone and it is so great when the district can offer a "doctor on demand" each day of the week.
There will be no student pickup on campus TODAY due to pavement work near the outside of our back gate. If you normally pick your child up on campus, TODAY they will exit through the McDonald's gate and meet you in front of Shoe Show or Gordmans. So please be parked near Gordmans or Show instead of our rear parking lot. Faculty and staff will be on hand to direct students and ensure their safety.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but normal back parking lot pick up and drop off will resume on Friday.
Today's student drivers will be dismissed at 3:15pm today to allow their exit before paving begins.
JCHS parents, students, and teachers, please check your email for a very important school safety survey. We desire your honest opinion on the safety of you and your student(s) here at JCHS and the results of the survey will steer improvement practices for the future. Please complete the short survey by November 15. Thank you!
