    Attendance Matters

    Parents are always asking, "What can we do to help the school?" Did you know that attendance is a part of our state report card grade each year? The best help we can receive from our families is to practice healthy habits towards good attendance.  Good attendance is key to success in school in both Reading and Math.  Help us help you by working hard to be at school on time all day every day.  Besides....it's just a better place with you around at JSJ!  See you at school!

    Student Device Policy

    Student Device Policy:

    Students shall not possess any digital device within the testing room when participating in ACAP testing. The possession of a digital device by students participating in ACAP testing is strictly prohibited during the administration of a test. The ONLY exception to this policy is for students who have been pre-approved by the Building Test Coordinator or the Principal to have a digital device that is necessary for the health and/or well­ being of the student.

    If students are in possession of a digital device that is within their reach during the administration of an ACAP test, the device will be confiscated and, if the appropriate administrator determines that there is reasonable suspicion that the device was used to capture, record, or share test information or to facilitate cheating on the test, it may be subject to search pursuant to LEA policy for any information directly related to the ACAP test being administered. Additionally, the student will be dismissed from testing immediately and the test may be invalidated in accordance with ACAP policy. Violation(s) may result in disciplinary action by the LEA in accordance with the LEA's disciplinary policy.
