    • JHS Daily Bell Schedule

     

    Student Arrival Time

    • Students should arrive at JHS between 7:40-7:55 AM.  At 7:55, a bell will ring to mark the beginning of the school day. At that time, students will be allowed into the building.  Students who would like to eat breakfast at school should enter through the main doors, starting at 7:40 AM.  Students who enter prior to 7:55 must go to the cafeteria for breakfast or have prior approval to meet with a teacher.  A point of emphasis this year is for students to be in their assigned homeroom by 8:05 AM.  Students are not permitted to wander the hallways or visit other classrooms after entering the building. Instead, students must attend their scheduled homeroom as soon as possible.  Students who arrive at JHS after 8:05 will be considered "tardy."

     

    Drop Off Locations

    • Students should not be dropped off on 2nd Street or in the front loop of JHS. It is imperative for student safety that cars do not stop and block lanes on 2nd Street. The three recommended drop-off locations for students include the corner of First and Institute Street (take First St. to Institute St. from Main Street), the corner of Chandler St. and Foote Avenue, and on 3rd Street across from the former Veteran's Park (by the post office).

     

    Student Entrances

    • All students should enter through the main doors by the main office, under the clock.  These are the doors with the "big cat" logo. Students should not enter JHS through any other doors during school hours.

     

    Student Lockers

    • Students are expected to use their lockers during the school year.  Items that are not needed for class should be placed in lockers.  Students will receive a school-issued lock (no deposit required) early in the school year.

     

    Use of Backpacks

    • Students are permitted to use backpacks in school.  If students bring anything into the school that violates the Code of Conduct, they will be placed on a "No Backpack List."  If students are placed on this list, they will automatically be placed on the "No Phone List" since students are expected to put their phones in their backpacks during class.
