Immunization Requirements
To keep children in schools healthy, Georgia requires children to get vaccines against certain diseases. Please contact your child's primary care doctor to schedule the correct vaccines, or contact the local health department. Once the vaccines have been administered, your doctor should provide an updated Immunization Form 3231. A copy of this form needs to be given to the JCHS front office.

JCHS Chromebook Checklist
Dear Panther Families,
As we gear up for the upcoming school year, we kindly request your assistance in ensuring that your student's Chromebook is in optimal condition for learning. Your support in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Please note that all returning 9th-12th graders should have a Chromebook assigned to them.
Here are a few quick checks to perform on your Chromebook:
Check for Damage: Inspect your Chromebook for any physical damage. Report any damages on this form.
Check the Charger: Ensure that your Chromebook charger is present, functioning properly, and that there are no loose or frayed wires. If you are missing a charger, replacement chargers are available for purchase at $25 each.
Clean Your Chromebook: Clorox wipes can be used to clean the device. Please power off the Chromebook, wipe it with the Clorox wipe, and then dry it with a paper towel. It's important that all Chromebooks are free from stickers or any form of graffiti.
If your Chromebook requires repairs or if you need further assistance, please complete this form, and a member of our Jackson County High School technology team will reach out to you.
Lastly, don't forget to bring your fully charged Chromebook with you on the first day of school.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. We look forward to a successful school year ahead!
