We're pleased to bring holiday cheer to neurodiverse students and their families again this year with the second annual JCS Sensory Santa! This event gives sensory-sensitive children and their families a chance to visit Santa in a calmer, less-chaotic environment. The fun continues the weekend thanks to our student and staff volunteers!
This week, we're proud to recognize the contributions of our JCS community to computer science education. Thank you to the teachers and staff dedicated to inspiring our students in this field while working to make computer science education accessible to all learners!

“PANTHER PALOOZA” for the Girls and Boys basketball teams, and our cheerleaders will take place Friday, November 18th from 6:00-8:30pm. It will model a midnight madness event which most college programs have to kick off the basketball season. The admission to this event is a nonperishable Thanksgiving food donation (canned goods, boxed goods etc.) that we will give to local churches and organizations such as the VFW post 3522 in Charles Town who offer free Thanksgiving dinners to the community. This event is open to the public. The Girls Basketball Team will provide Concessions. We will have 50/50 cash raffles throughout the event.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a time to highlight the importance of safeguarding online activity from harmful cyber attacks. Each Friday this month, we'll share tips to help our students, staff, and families secure their sensitive data and stay safe online. Tip #4: Never leave your devices unattended, even for a short time. Always secure your laptop, tablet, phone, or flash drive so no one else can use it while you're away. And while you're at it, tidy up your desk to ensure no passwords, account details, or important files are sitting out openly exposed. You'll leave with peace of mind AND a clean workspace! We hope you've found these tips helpful. To learn more about Cybersecurity Awareness Month, visit www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-awareness-month.

Oct. 20, 2022: We relocated two sixth-grade English classrooms this morning after a short in an electrical outlet in one of the classrooms produced smoke. There was no fire, and there was not enough smoke to trigger an alarm. An investigation determined both classrooms are safe to use, but one will be left vacant today to air out. Thank you for working with us to keep students safe.
