Personal Device Policy Update

To help create a focused, engaging learning environment, JCHS will follow a new personal device policy beginning with the 2026–2027 school year. Students should turn off all personal electronic devices and store them in their book bags from the first bell to the final bell.

This includes cell phones, smartwatches, personal laptops and tablets, headphones, earbuds, Meta glasses, and other connected devices. Parents who need to reach their student during the school day may contact the JCHS front office.

Thank you for your support as we work together to make each school day productive and successful!
