📢ATTENTION 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th grade parents: Our school will soon be administering the Kansas Communities That Care (KCTC) Student Survey*. This survey is taken by 6th, 8th, 10th and 12th grade students statewide. We believe this survey is a valuable tool to help us understand how students behave, think and feel about alcohol, marijuana and other drug use, bullying and school safety. All parents must sign and return this form to school by January 13, 2023. To learn more about which survey questions our school district will administer to students, please contact your school administrator; EMS-913-886-3870 or HS-913-774-8515.

Valley Falls VFW Auxiliary has invited our community to a Chicken and Noodle Dinner before the HSBB games Friday.
Welcome back, JCN scholars. We're excited to see you! The second semester starts tomorrow: Tuesday, January 3rd.
Students were in awe as they walked to class Monday and Tuesday. Teachers worked to decorate the halls with a scene of “Who-Ville”. The lights were out with the hallway lined with Christmas lights., Christmas trees, the Grinch, Cindy Lou Who, Max the reindeer dog, etc. At the end of the dim lit hall hung an illuminated, life size canvas of Who-Ville, painted by our beloved teacher, Pam Pursell.
Kindergarten also had a couple of visitors this week in Ms. Moore’s Who-Ville class. Santa came and visited with each student. Later in the day, the much animated “green one” known as the Grinch also came for a visit. Students enjoyed “Who-Ville” themed rotations and many more classroom activities. We wish each one a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year with safe travels.
Dear Parents,
As we prepare for the upcoming Winter Break, I continue to think about and reflect on the many successes and achievements of our students, staff, and school community during this school year. Our students make us so proud, and I truly appreciate your support and partnership in everything we do.
I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year!
Sincerely,
Dr. Bobbie Meier
