On the last day of school, all 7th and 8th Graders will be able to participate in a "fun day." The last student day is May 19th. Activities will include swimming in the pool, playing outside if the weather permits and watching a movie. Please send your student with an appropriate swim suit and towel if they plan to swim. Sun block and a couple bottle of waters can be helpful for your student if the weather is hot and sunny. Thanks!
A look at what our JH students in the 7th and 8th Grade Tech II classes get to complete! Students created a "Mechanism Windfarm" using mechanisms instead of wind for the power source. Students built all 12 mechanisms in class then were asked to build a windmill using at least 2 of the mechanisms from the unit. Way to go students!!

Included in the pictures below is Mr. Glen Bryant, veteran and long time guidance counselor at the high school. Best Wishes to our enlistees, Tylor Betz and Dayton Ross . Thank you for your service!

7th and 8th Grade JH Spring Dance Reminder:
The 8th Grade Honor Society is pleased to announce that this year’s Spring Dance will be held on Saturday May 7th, from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm. This dance is open to all 7th and 8th grade Jay County Jr- Sr High School Students . Tickets will be sold during lunch time Monday May 2nd- Friday May 6th. No tickets will be sold at the door. The cost of the dance is $5.00 per student.
As in the past, the school dress code applies. Formal wear is NOT required. Dresses must be fingertip length or longer, no midriffs and must have straps. Please see page 16 in the 2021-2022 Student Handbook for the full dress code for Jay County Jr-Sr High School.
Students will need to be dropped off by the North Auxiliary Gym Doors, which will open at 3:00 p.m. Parents are not advised to drop their student off until 2:45 ish and all pictures should be taken before arriving at the school. We are asking that parents do not congregate in the parking lot due to parking lot safety concerns. Students will not be permitted to leave the Auxiliary Gym until 6:00 pm. Once a student enters the gym, they will be required to stay in the gym.
Students will have the opportunity to buy concessions between 3 and 6 pm, please send additional cash with your student if you would like them to buy concessions. We do recommend that you send your student with $1 and $5 bills, last year we had a hard time giving change because of too many $20s.
This dance is for Jay County Jr-Sr High School 7th and 8th grade students ONLY! Any student that has received an In-School or Out of School Suspension during the 4th Cycle will not be eligible to attend the Spring Dance.
Also, be aware that these plans are subject to change if COVID conditions throughout the county change. Further information regarding dance details will be released at a further date.
