Student Spotlight

This month we would like to give a special thank you to these two extraordinary Seniors….

 

Miss Aarya Matharu and Mr. Kellen Fain

 

Both Kellen and Aarya stepped up to be a huge part of the Freshman Mini Camp's success. From finding and managing volunteers, setting up the agenda to offering new ideas, their leadership and guidance were greatly appreciated. There is no doubt Kellen and Aarya have a bright future ahead!

Good To Know ...

Are you new to JCHS or just forget where to find information or know who to contact? We've put together a 1-page list of “Good to know” Items for Rising 9th Grade Parents. But it's not only good for 9th Grade Parents, it's a great refresher for all JCHS parents.  Click here to download.

 

The front office also created these tips for parents:

  • Need to be Absent from School? - Please bring in a note to school upon your return. Drop it off at the Attendance Office. There is no need to call the office for an absence. If you checked out of school for a medical appointment, the absence will remain unexcused until the student returns with a doctor's note.
  • Checking Students Out of School - The quickest and most efficient way to check out of school is to send a note in with the student. The student will take it to the attendance office where he/she will receive a pass to leave class at the appointed time. For instances where a note was not sent in, please email Ms. Reid in the Attendance Office at Reidi@fultonschools.org.
