Hello, band parents! The instrument display will be TOMORROW, August 19th from 5:00pm - 7:00pm in the band room at the EMS. If you are needing an instrument for your child, Manning Music and Judi’s Woodwind Shop will be there to help you find what you need. We are mouthpiece testing today/tomorrow, so when you arrive, we can talk about what instrument your child is going to play. Even if your child has an instrument, still come to get the care/cleaning kit for their instrument. Thank you!

Freshman iPad Orientation Thursday evening 6:30* at the High School
It is very important and each Freshman taking an iPad home have “their own” AppleID that can be entered into the iPad. This gives us the ability to find a “lost” iPad, and has proven its value many times over the years.
I have saved the instructions (Creating an AppleID 2021) on the web site, but please understand that the process changes subtly, so there may be some differences in the process.
https://5il.co/wwzw
Please try to have an AppleID and Password (that you will be giving to our office personnel) Thursday night. If you “think” you know it, please log into Manage My AppleID and make sure it’s correct.
We’ll see you Thursday night!
*NOTE THE TIME. I know you may have seen an assortment of times for this meeting. It is at 6:30PM at the High School.
We appreciate your great work at enrolling students!
As we are reviewing enrollment entries, we have noticed some families may have missed a step or two.
Please ensure you have enrolled each of your children by selecting on them separately within Powerschool. Some families have updated one child but not other family members. Also, we’ve noticed some of you have paid fees but missed logging in to Powerschool and completing the updates or necessary documents.
As always, if you have any questions don’t hesitate to call the school offices today and they will guide you through the online enrollment process.
Also, please be sure to pay enrollment fees – either by Revtrack online, or in person at the EMS or HS Offices.
As a reminder – with your ID and Password used to enroll in Powerschool, we encourage you to log in and check your MS and/or HS child’s progress regularly throughout the school year.
We appreciate you and are excited to see your children again soon. Thank you for helping us start the year as smoothly as possible with completing the enrollment information!
Enrollment Day is here! Thank you for completing enrollment today if you have not already.
Even though all children will be able to eat free during the 2021-22 school year, the Household Economic Survey (HES) generates additional funding for our local educational programs.
We encourage all families to consider, review, and complete the HES application. Eligibility determination will be made according to the established guidelines, and if your family qualifies the district will receive the funds accordingly.
If families do not complete the application, state funding for our school district will be reduced.
The HES application is attached to our online enrollment for your convenience and consideration. Please feel free to contact our district’s office at 913-774-2000 with any questions.
You can submit the Household Economic Survey application by mail, email or return it in person at your child’s school. If you decide to send your documents by mail or email, please send them to the address below:
Jefferson County North Schools

Thank you for your consideration of this important process.
The 2021-22 school year is just around the corner! I was hoping this would be a "calmer" start to the year but listening to the news, I realize there are unknowns creeping in again. Please know we are "staying tuned" and will keep you advised but as of this moment in time, we are heading back to school in as typical of fashion as possible (refer to our website under News for more COVID Procedures information). Also on the website, see Parent Resources-School Calendar Pages, you will find a "preview" of our school calendar. It is currently at the printer and we will have printed calendars for you at our back to school events! Last for this note, Online Enrollment is open! You should be receiving letters from our school offices explaining the procedures or you may also refer to our website see Parent Resources -2021-22 Enrollment.
The following message is from Mr. McFarland....
JCNHS students (grades 9-12) : Don’t forget to check your school email for instructions on choosing your classes. This is still a relatively new process for all of us, but the instructions will help you through the process. Please don’t hesitate to contact Mr. McFarland if you have questions about the process or for your PowerSchool sign-on information.
Joyful Hearts with Helping Hands will be holding their 5th annual book bag and school supply giveaway. See flyer below for details.
Final Day of Camp. Fun group of Chargers!!
