Drop-Off Table, Third Party Vendor Deliveries, and Federal Food Guidelines:
We would like to make everyone aware that the drop-off table located at the Jasper front doors is an unsupervised area. Jasper's staff does not have the capacity to supervise the table or monitor items that become missing. We strongly suggest parents that want to bring food up to their students wait and hand deliver the food to their student. If not, there are other options the student can utilize like bringing their lunch or purchasing a lunch from our school cafeteria.
We also would like to remind everyone that third party delivery of food is not permitted. All vendors will be turned away. No vendor should attempt to drop food off in the south student entry way.
Per the Federal Nutritional Guidelines, food that is brought to school cannot be shared with other students. Parents cannot bring extra drinks and food for anyone other than their student. This applies even on birthdays and special occasions.

Join the 5th Annual Peanut Butter Drive with City of Plano:
Join our efforts and donate regular sized plastic jars of peanut butter, or similar spreads like almond butter or sunflower butter. There are over 44,000 food insecure children in Collin County alone. Hunger can be a hidden issue in any community. The City of Plano helps to raise awareness surrounding the issue of food insecurity for children, families and seniors in hopes others will get involved in the fight against hunger. Mayor LaRosiliere says, “By donating a jar of peanut butter, you’re helping someone in your community, people that you might even know and that you just don’t realize are in that situation.”
Collection bins will be located in the JHS Foyer from September 17th-25th. The Spreading Hope Peanut Butter Drive is sponsored by JHS PTSA Community Outreach, benefiting North Texas Food Bank.
