JHCS has remained COVID free and we are grateful for all of your diligence in helping us remain open. To be cautious, we will be doing remote learning Nov. 30- Dec. 4th. That way, any symptoms after Thanksgiving gatherings will demonstrate before returning to school.

Watch for more information from your child's teacher about the requirements for that week.

Progress reports are being emailed today. The email will come from Mastery Connect.

• We provide Standards-Based Grading
• Students have all year to master the standards
• Ask your child's teacher if you have any questions

Oct. 26th is our Class Photo Day and Retake Day. Please be sure to send your child to school in a white button-down top with blue or plaid bottoms.

We will take the class photos with masks. It is a great way to document this time for history.

All students will participate in Vision Screening on Friday, Nov. 13th. Please inform the school if you would like to opt your child out of this screening.

Proof of all required immunizations is due to the school prior to Nov. 1st. Please contact your child's doctor ASAP if your child is in need of immunizations.

You can contact the school nurse, Devin Payne, at devinpayne@johnhancockcs.org if you have any questions.

Please create a process to keep your child's school Chromebook safe while at home. There is a national shortage of Chromebooks and we find we are replacing broken them quicker than we can get them from our suppliers.

• Collect the Chromebook when it is not in use
• Ensure it is charged every night
• Have your child use the Chromebook where you can monitor their use
• Do not allow your child to walk while holding the Chromebook
• Only allow the use of the Chromebook at a desk or table.

We appreciate your help.
