Georgia Pre-K Week
Georgia Pre-K Week
Georgia Pre-K Week is an annual statewide celebration highlighting the importance of early childhood education! Our Pre-K students will have a fun-filled week next week. It will be dedicated to recognizing our youngest learners, our amazing teachers, and the joy of learning through music, reading, and school spirit.
To kick off the week, on Monday we are dressing like a PreK student... we are talking all the bright colors, fun accessories, and silly outfits. Pre-K reminds us to be creative, bold, and ready to learn every single day!
Get your cabin creek before heading over to EJES for the FREE movie on the EJHS football field! Perfect opportunity to support EJES & EJHS!
To kickstart Red Ribbon Week, we are reminding ourselves that "We have too much character for drugs!" Our annual book character parade will take place on Thursday, October 22nd.
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.
