We had our last home football game Friday Oct 17th with plenty of tailgating, food, and socialization with fans as the Generals fought hard but came up a little short against Morgan County. The Generals have 2 regular season games left on the road vs. Breathitt County ( Oct 24th ) and Pineville( Oct 30 ) before they meet Beechwood in KHSAA playoff round 1.
Our attendance prize winner last week was Ethan Baker.
We want to give a big shout out to the Richmond State Police Post for allowing Trooper Starlin Hacker to speak to Ms. Jackson's Jag students. They also help provide security for our last home football game.
We also want to shout out to Sheriff Daniel Isaacs and his SRO officers and deputies for helping with the home football game Friday night and our Homecoming dance that took place on Saturday night
Ms. Hurst, Cheerleaders, Teachers and Cheer Parents helped sponsor, prepare and chaperone the school dance. Students came in all dressed up and ready to dance for a few hours. Big Thanks to Cheer for hosting this event !!
Teachers met in PLC last week with Mrs. Boggs. The focus was to relate attendance and responsibility to academic rigor, excused absence make-up work policy, unexcused absence policy, and using HQIR resources in their classrooms. Math and Social studies were asked to focus on Savas while English uses HMH. Science will continue to focus on using Open SCIED as their main resource. Our staff is focusing on raising the standards for JCHS classroom rigor, teaching students accountability, and increasing knowledge each day. We expect the best from our staff and students each day.
The nine weeks will end OCT 27th. We will be hosting an open house on Nov 4th 4-7Pm. for students and parents to pick up report cards and meet teachers if needed. If you need to schedule an appointment with any teacher at anytime please email the teacher or you can email Mr. Parrett directly and we'll schedule the meeting for you.
