Anyone participating in a fall sport, please make sure your physicals are completed prior to the first day of practice, you can NOT practice until we have one on file. There is some information regarding physicals in this newsletter below.

REMIND 101
Remind101 has been a valuable tool for the office to communicate with parents and students by text and/or email. We use Remind101 for quick reminders and JH deadlines and important events.
However, starting in July, Remind101 is limiting the service they offer for free.
In order for us to continue using the free service we have to separate each class into their own group.
If you are currently signed up for Remind101 for the Junior High you will no longer receive updates using that account as that account has been archived. You will have to re-sign up for the account(s) below that pertain to you.
Class of 2026 (6th Grade Parents)
Text @jhparent26 to 81010
Class of 2025 (7th Grade Parents)
Text @jhparent25 to 81010
Class of 2024 (8th Grade Parents)
Text @jhparent24 to 81010
At this time the office will not set up separate groups for students as we make daily announcements each morning and at the end of the day. The above groups are for parents only.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR STUDENT'S SCHEDULE
Please refer to the schedule below when looking over your student's schedule (especially when referring to Success and Lunch). O, B or W on your student's schedule refers to Orange Day, Black Day or White Day.
