A reminder to everyone that we will begin our planned weekly 2 Hour Delay on Wednesday, December 2, 2020, to provide teachers additional time to prepare and plan instruction and support for students. This delay will apply to our elementary students (K-6). Jay County Jr-Sr High will follow their Remote Learning Schedule this Wednesday (7-12).
School Pictures should be delivered in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for your patience with us as we work with LifeTouch to get them delivered in time for Picture Retake Day.
Picture Retake Day will be Monday November 30th!

I am reaching out to you to let you know that we will be sending out information by Friday, November 6 regarding Parent / Teacher Conferences. We want to ensure that parents and teachers interact with one another so parents are aware of academic progress of their student(s) while maintaining COVID-19 risk reduction (no larger gatherings, lines, social distance, mask use, no ill people attending)
Please do not hesitate to email me at bdues@jayschools.k12.in.us or call the school at 260-726-9417.

Information regarding Boy Scouts:
Cub Scouts do fun activities like building your very own Pinewood Derby car and then race it against your friends at the pack meeting. Your pack is camping in a meadow overlooking a beautiful lake. You and your friends go fishing and later Roast Hot Dogs and make S’ Mores over the campfire. Your den is hiking in a forest and, suddenly, several deer run across the trail ahead of you.
Cub Scouts do these things and much more. It’s a FUN activity for Boys and Girls in Kindergarten thru 6th grade.
You and your parents are invited to join in the Cub Scout Joining Event on Tuesday October 13 at 6:00 p.m. at Hickory Grove Church. Bring your Friends so you Don’t Miss Out on ALL the Fun. Scout Me In.
