OCTOBER 9, 2020 - Jamestown High School will be adding in-person instruction for students in ten courses beginning October 26th: JCC Calculus, AP Calculus, AP English 12, AP English 11, JCC English 12, AP Chemistry, AP Environmental Science, AP Biology, AP Physics and Computer Applications. The additional classes will add 300 students per week to the school’s in-person enrollment.
“As part of our ongoing commitment to bring back students safely into the building, we have determined that these courses will commence in-person instruction on October 26th,” said JHS Principal Dana Williams. “We chose academically challenging classes with class enrollments that allow the proper health and safety procedures to keep our students and staff safe. We are very excited to get more of our students back at JHS.”
Each student will be contacted directly by JHS with specific details about their individual schedule and health and safety procedures required to attend in-person classes. Students will be notified prior to the October 26th start date. If a student enrolled in any of these courses has any questions, they can contact the school directly at 483-3470 or email their school counselor.
In addition to the added courses, JHS has also identified students in specialized classes who may be invited to visit the school in the afternoons for additional small group support. JHS will continue to work toward bringing back additional 10th through 12th grade students, dependent on positive metrics regarding COVID-19.
“We understand that some of our kids are challenged by distance learning and need extra help,” said Mr. Williams. “We are trying to be proactive by ensuring that our students get the help they need and will continually evaluate our students’ progress to help meet their educational needs.”
