Mrs. Deviney’s 1st grade did an experiment to see how different types of drinks affect the shell of an egg. We soaked four eggs for seven hours in soda, fruit juice, milk & water. We learned the enamel of our teeth is similar to an egg’s shell. The soda & fruit juice stained the egg shell & made the shell weaker. We were able to brush off some of the stain. The milk make the shell harder to crack. The water did not show any change to the shell. We had fun making a hypothesis & seeing if our prediction was true.
Attention Parents!!!!!!!! The order code for class picture packets that went home have the wrong order code. Inter-state Studio had a system problem that required them to change our school's order code from the forms that went out. The new order code is 57567V to order class pictures online through the company.

well, the cold weather got us again. The HS basketball games scheduled for Tuesday against Jackson Hts have been cancelled. We will let you know if we find a make up date.
Due to winter weather and extreme wind chills forecast through Tuesday noon, I am canceling school for Monday and Tuesday. Activities are cancelled for Monday as well. Due to many COVID cancellations and rescheduling this season, I will wait to make a decision regarding Tuesday afternoon’s activities until midday tomorrow.
To recap, there will be no school on Monday or Tuesday at JCN. No activities on Monday. Tuesday activities are to be determined.
I’m hoping you can all snuggle up with a good book and enjoy the warmth of reading!
The play has been postponed again - we are so sorry students. We will be looking at a make-up date in the near future. Hang in there thespians and Ms. Crocker. We're going to get this play in.
Parents, just a reminder. If you happen to change addresses or phone numbers during the year please contact us at the building offices so we can change your contact information. We want to have current info in case we need to contact you. Thanks.
Sorry kiddos, this is not the note you are hoping for…. We will be going to school tomorrow (unless something changes before morning).
I’m calling to let you know we do have a new case of COVID at the high school. We have a few exposures that will be quarantined. Students have been notified of exposure and most parents have been reached.
We will be postponing our high school play scheduled for this weekend. Information will be posted on our website and Facebook once we have a new date for the play.
I’m sure many of you are closely watching upcoming weather. I won’t make a final call until closer to Monday but you might begin planning for closure, in the event the wind chill stays below -20 for Monday and Tuesday.
For tomorrow, continue keeping your students inside your home or vehicle until you see the bus pulling up. Also, keep in mind bus times might fluctuate slightly as we ensure students keep warm by having them wait inside until the bus is visible.
