Back to School Night

Back to School Night for 7th and 8th grade will take place at 6:30 P.M. on Thursday, September 14, in the library. This year there will be a focus on how to access information online in order to support your children and monitor their progress. The upper grade teachers will demonstrate how to access and work with the JCS website and its calendars, the upper grade teachers’ classroom websites, the Upper Grade Bulletin, and the new online gradebook.
The upper grades have adopted an online gradebook that you will be able to access throughout the year. Coming soon in the mail you will find a sheet of instructions about how to set up your parent portal account for accessing the gradebook. You may set up your account at any time.
In addition to covering all of this technology, Back to School Night is an opportunity for you to meet classroom teachers and hear about and sign up for volunteer opportunities.


If you are unable to attend this event, we are more than happy to help with whatever is needed, and all classroom handouts will be available here and on the teachers’ websites. You may also contact your child’s homeroom teacher to sign up as a volunteer.

Emergency Supplies

Each year students are asked to bring a zip lock bag filled with three bottles of water and three non-perishable food items in case we were to encounter an emergency at school and needed supplies.  This year the Athletic Department will be selling the emergency supply bags as a fundraiser.  Look for order forms in the Tuesday folder or you can order your emergency bags at BTSN if you would like to skip dealing with creating the disaster pack and support the Athletic Department.  The emergency supply bags will be $10.

Room Parent Volunteer

The Jacoby Creek Children's Education Foundation is in need of parent from each homeroom to coordinate volunteers for the Pentathlon and Auction. If you are interested in helping with these important fund raisers, please let your child's homeroom teacher know.
Thank you!
