All 3 Jackson County Schools have created a framework for reopening schools. The document can be found on the USD 335 website by clicking on documents and then scrolling to the Jackson County Schools Re-Opening Framework. The beginning of the plan is being shared to provide a general idea of our direction for the new school year. Please keep in mind there will be some differences between districts, input still needs to be given on this, and more details will be coming soon.
All students that will be involved in athletics at Jackson Heights need to have a KSHAA Concussion Form filled out and signed. Please bring the completed form to your physical on July 15. Go to the website, click on "Documents". The form is listed in the "MS/HS" section.
It is our hope to start school as planned on August 18, and the health and safety of every Cobra is of the upmost importance. We also know flexible learning opportunities will be key for the success of all students this year. Let's talk about the road to readiness in USD 335! A virtual invitation will also be sent via Bright Arrow next week. Please RSVP to adrianne.walsh@jhcobras.net or the USD 335 District Office at 364-2194 by July 8 so plans can be made for the proper meeting space.
