| Scheduling for the 2020-2021 school year is fast approaching. There are potential major changes on the horizon as they relate to Dual Enrollment. Make sure to attend DE Night on January 30 to get the latest. As far as virtual courses are concerned, do your due diligence and know what you're getting yourself into if making this choice. The levels of support and flexibility are very different for each platform. Finally, be aware of what you need to take to stay on schedule for graduation as well as what classes are necessary to put your child in a position to accomplish their goals beyond high school. Ultimately, there is a LOT to consider. Lean on your counselor to get the right information.

| JCHS PTSA Wellness Wednesday | |
The theme of our last Wellness Wednesday on January 15th
was self care with a focus on hand hygiene. We gave out hand sanitizer, reminded the students to follow good hand washing to prevent getting the flu and other illnesses this winter.
We implore you to work together with us to prevent the spread of this season's flu among the student body.
The flu is not to be taken lightly as it can lead to life-threatening complications even to the healthiest among us, and susceptibility and the rate of complications is increased among those who are immune-suppressed. Possible complications, include, but are not limited to bacterial pneumonia and worsening of chronic health conditions like asthma, congestive heart failure, and diabetes.
Students returning to school are expected to be fever free WITHOUT fever-reducing medication (Tylenol and/or Motrin). For additional information, please refer to the Fulton County School Policy.

Your cooperation is much appreciated. |
