HAPPENING FRIDAY: Holiday Celebration for all students in Grades K-12! 🎅🎄
The JVR Boys Basketball game @ North Union on December 12th has been cancelled/postponed, pending an alternate date later in the winter.
We’re recognizing Computer Science Education Week by shining a spotlight on the teachers who bring technology to life in the classroom.
Thank you for your passion and commitment to preparing students for an innovative future! 🖥️💫 #CSEdWeek
Don’t miss our 5th-8th graders perform at tonight’s Holiday Band Concert! It starts at 7:00pm in the Emmetsburg High School Auditorium. See you there! ☃️🥁
As winter approaches, here’s a reminder of our procedures for school delays and cancellations. ❄️🚨
The safety of our students and staff is our top priority when making these decisions. Families can sign up for alerts through the JMC app, and community members can stay updated via district social media or local radio and television stations.
If school is delayed on a Friday, the early release schedule will be canceled. Students will dismiss at the regular time of 3:26 p.m.
