PTSA General Membership Meeting--March 11, 2025

A general membership meeting will be held on Tuesday, March 11, 2025 at 9:30 AM in the JCHS Media Center conference room.  This meeting is open to ALL members of the PTSA.  A vote for the nominating committee will take place at this meeting.  We hope to see you there.


Baccalaureate Chair/Co-Chairs Needed
 

Attention Senior Parents!  Baccalaureate has been scheduled for May 4 from 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm at Johns Creek Baptist Church.  This is not sponsored by the school or the PTSA.  It is a parent coordinated event planned and implemented for our graduating seniors and their parents/families/friends.  If you would like to serve as a Chair or Co-Chair or would like more information please email Joni.murphy@comcast.net.  Go Glads and congratulations to all of our 2025 Seniors!

 

Medication Disposal Day--March 7, 2025
 
Johns Creek High School will be hosting Medication Disposal Day, organized by Integrated Psychiatric Services and One Johns Creek. This initiative aims to provide a safe and responsible way to dispose of unused or expired medications, helping to protect our families, environment, and community from the risks of improper drug disposal. STUDENTS CANNOT BRING MEDICATIONS TO SCHOOL FOR DISPOSAL; ADULT DROP OFF ONLY. Please see the attached flyer for more information.
 
 


 
Attendance Office Volunteers Needed!
 
We are looking for a few volunteers to fill regular shifts in the attendance office.  For more information, please email ashleydmullins@gmail.com
 

Volunteers:

JCHS often needs parent volunteers, so please join the PTSA!

All school volunteers will need to register to assist with working in the office, attendance office, drama department, team meals, senior treats, Wellness Wednesday, senior carnival, chaperones, etc.

 

Any task that will allow you to interact with students will require you to register as a volunteer.

 

Please follow the link to access the FCS Volunteer Registration page. Register as a Volunteer - Fulton County School System (fultonschools.org)

 

All visitors must remember to bring in their driver's license each time they sign in. This is non-negotiableThe license will need to be scanned each time they come to the office. It will not hold onto the information like the other system. So, if you are coming in for a parent/counseling/teacher/administrator meeting, you must remember to bring your license. It must be the physical license, digital will not suffice. 

  


 

 

Attention Seniors!
