Eagle Family,
The Johnson County School District will resume classes on September 1, 2020. This year, the Johnson County School system will provide two options for our students, staff, and families- JC Brick-&-Mortar Traditional and JC Click-&-Soar Remote.
The first option, JC Brick-&-Mortar Traditional, will be regular attendance at school-going five days a week as normal. This, of course, will be following all public health guidelines including temperature checks, social distancing and the wearing of face masks when 6 feet of distance between individuals cannot be obtained.
The second option, JC Click-&-Soar Remote, will be fully remote. With this option, students will work daily with teachers to complete assignments from home. This option will require a long term commitment from students and parents as we will not permit our students to float between in-person face to face and online learning.
This website has been developed to fully explain details of both of our 2020-2021 school options, JC Brick-&-Mortar Traditional and JC Click-&-Soar Remote. I ask that you carefully read the expectations and requirements of both options. This website is a working page that will continue to have guidance and information added that will allow you to fully understand how our schools will operate during the 2020-2021 school year.
As you are well aware, this has been a time like no other. As we continue to develop and specify our reopening plans, feel confident in knowing that the safety, welfare, and health of everyone continues to be our priority in all decisions being made. We are continuing our work on policies and procedures that students and staff will follow while being transported and on campus with recommendations from Kentucky Healthy at School Guidelines. Remember, that as more is learned about Covid-19, change in guidelines, recommendations, and requirements from public health officials occurs often, sometimes daily. We continue to adapt and plan to meet the needs of all of our students. Please understand that while we feel good about our plan, as things change, the plan may have to as well. Thank you for your continued support and encouragement. We ask that you continue to be patient and understand that we all have to be flexible during our reopening efforts. Remember, everything we do, we do because of and for each and every one of our Johnson County students.
