BREAKING NEWS: Jasper Students in Grades 9-12 to Move to Virtual Learning Tuesday

FROM JASPER SCHOOL OFFICIALS

JASPER -- As a result of the recent uptick of a large number students being identified as close contacts, all students in grades 9-12 will be shifting to virtual learning Tuesday, December 15, 2020 through Friday, December 18, 2020. 

Students will return to in-person learning on Monday, January 4, 2021 following the holiday break.

Students in grades PreK-8 WILL CONTINUE daily in-person learning.

Students will be expected to virtually attend their regular class periods 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. for direct instruction from their teachers. Students will be expected to login at the start of each period and be an active class participant. Students are responsible for all assignments and assessments as determined by their teachers.

If your child has a special circumstance that limits his/her ability to learn virtually, you will be contacted by a teacher of record.
Please contact your building principal via email if you have Internet connectivity issues.

Students who attend CTE classes at other schools will continue to travel to those programs at their scheduled times.

Bus transportation will continue to operate.

School lunch and breakfast will continue to be available to students who wish to participate.

Meals will be available for pick up at JHS from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. daily for students in grades 9-12. Each daily meal will contain that day’s hot lunch and a breakfast for the next day.
Due to recent USDA waivers, all meals to enrolled students are currently free. Students do not need to be present to pick up meals.

If your student(s) is a virtual learner temporarily, they will no longer be eligible for this pick up service once in-person learning resumes at their school.

Please understand that completing this form indicates to us to prepare meals for your student(s). If you request meals and don’t pick them up, we will have to throw the food away.
