J.H. Williams Update

Dear Parents/Guardians,

I hope this message finds you well. We want to inform you about upcoming schedule changes at J.H. Williams that will impact some of our students' daily routines. These changes have been carefully considered and are being implemented to enhance the overall educational experience and improve the efficiency of our school operations.

• Updated Class Schedules: We are excited to let you know that we have filled our 6th-grade math vacancy. As a result, there may be changes to your child's class schedule. These changes will take place beginning tomorrow, which is the beginning of the 2nd 9-week grading period. Other subjects and grade levels may be impacted as well due to the change in the Master Schedule as a result of the changes in 6th-grade math. Please know that we want to make sure that this transition goes as smooth as possible.

We understand that these schedule changes may require some adjustments on not only the students' and teachers' part, but your part as well, and we appreciate your cooperation in ensuring a smooth transition. Our primary goal is to provide a more efficient and enriching educational experience for our students.

If you have any questions or concerns about these schedule changes, please do not hesitate to reach out to our school administration.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we work to improve our school's operations and provide the best possible education for your children.

We are so excited to continue to offer this wonderful technological tool to all of our students. Students will be issued a daily use Chromebook to complete activities; however, Chromebooks will remain on campus unless a need arises for remote learning.

Students must be in their homeroom no later than 7:23 to receive their Chromebooks in homeroom. Any student arriving after this time will not be allowed to go to homeroom to pick up their Chromebook (so as to not disturb that class). We appreciate your efforts in having students arrive at school on time.

Parents,

Due to safety issues, the drop-off and pick-up area is in the back of the school by the stadium. Please do not drop off or pick up students in front of the school.

Thank you for your cooperation.
