Mrs. Pennington and Mrs. Dillow have issued the ultimate challenge:
If we read for 90,000 minutes as a school this month, our principals are trading in their comfy beds for sleeping bags and will be spending 1 night here at school in April!
We’re talking: Putting up their own tent, sleeping bags on the floor, cooking their dinner in the cafeteria, staying up late under the school roof!
How to Help: Every page counts, Eagles! Whether it’s a graphic novel, a bedtime story read by your parents, or a deep dive into a chapter book, make sure you log those minutes. Let's show them just how much this flock loves to read!
We are thrilled to announce all JCSS schools are adopting the Raptor Safe mobile application as part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing school safety, while streamlining visitor management check-in at our schools. The Raptor Safe app builds upon existing visitor procedures, offering a more convenient and secure check-in process for visitors.
What is the Raptor Safe App? The Raptor Safe app offers a convenient and secure way for visitors to manage and verify their identity before arriving at a school. With the Raptor Passport feature, visitors can pre-verify their identity, allowing for a seamless sign-in process when they arrive on campus.
How Does It Work? When visiting a school, visitors can use their secure QR code generated by the app to expedite the check-in process. QR codes automatically regenerate every 5 minutes to ensure security and prevent misuse.
