JISD has installed hand sanitizer dispensers by most doors in the district. Students and staff will be asked to sanitize their hand upon entering the building and each classroom throughout the day.
We will also have sanitizing wipes available for students to clean their desks off before and after use.
At this time bus routes for the 20-21 school year have remained the same as last school year. If you have any questions on your bus route please contact the bus driver.
Parents:
Please make sure you call the front office with all of your pick up and drop off changes for the 20-21 school year. Mrs. Suggs will be here to accommodate all of your schedule changes for this matter.
Please call the school as early as you can for pick up changes. It is extremely difficult to get messages to teachers right at the end of the day.
In the years past we’ve always used apps or texts to communicate with teachers. This year teachers have a lot going on and we do not want a message to be missed.
Don’t forget we need updated shot recorded for incoming kindergarten and 7th grade students.
Tuesday, August 25th, the Baptist church will be handing out school supplies from 5-8 pm. You will be able to drive by, collect your supplies and leave.
JISD appreciates this service that the church provides each year. Our kids do not go without anything they need because of this community.
HS football scrimmage at Pruitt Field vs the #6 May Tigers beginning at 6 PM on Thur (8/20).

Thank you for the continued support of our student athletes!
Sports camp info
Herff Jones will be in campus September 11th and 18th for upper class man to view and order class rings. This date is a change from originally planned so please correct your calendars.
As the start of the 20-21 school year approaches, JISD will roll out all the new changes for the school year.
Up first is our school hours. We have extended our school hours from 8:00-3:45. Adding in this extra time allowed us to extend our passing periods giving students more time between classes.
We also ask that no student be dropped off before 7:30 each morning. In the past we could make arrangements for early drop off, but this year our teachers and staff already have enough extra duties to attend.
If you have any questions regarding school hours please call the school.
And no matter how different this year may be, we still have hope and light because of moments like this.

Please call the school with questions or to sign up!!
SUBS!
JISD is always in need of good substitutes. If you are interested in subbing in the 20-21 school year we will have sub training on Monday, August 24th at 10 am. If you cannot meet on this day please call the school to arrange another time. Due to COVID regulation all subs will have to be trained before they are allowed on campus.
