No School - Labor Day
When: Monthly from 7:00 AM – 7:30 AM
Where: EJES Media Center
Who: Moms, aunts, grandmas, mother figures, and your elementary kids
**Ends promptly at 7:30 so students have ample time to be in their classroom before 7:40.
September Focus: CONFIDENCE
What to Expect:
Breakfast Together: Grab breakfast from the cafeteria and bring it to the media center so you and your child can eat together. Moms eat FREE in the cafeteria this year thanks to our generous sponsors: The Jefferson Church, Jackson EMC and Grove Level Baptist Church.
Dedicated Quality Time: Enjoy focused one-on-one connection time with your student, free from morning distractions.
Proud Moments: A quick warm-up sharing a time your child showed bravery, effort, or tried something new.
Dedicated Conversation Time: Each month, we will have questions for each of you to ask each other focused on our word of the month. What a cool way for you to get to know your child even better and open up great conversations about life.
Walk to Class: End the morning on a high note by walking your child directly to their classroom door when the meeting wraps up!
These mornings are all about creating special memories, being present in your child's school world, and starting the day together. We can't wait to see familiar faces and welcome new ones!

Visitor Information
Visitor Information
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.
