Here are the highlights from the Weekly School Messenger for the Week of February 26th.
This week we reviewed safety procedures with the entire faculty, staff, and student body. All classroom doors will be locked throughout the day. All exterior doors will be locked throughout the day. Please do not dilly-dally during passing periods and get to class on time. We will not allow students out of class the first ten minutes of class or the last ten minutes of class. Finally, we want to remind parents and guests to come into the school to receive a pass to walk about campus and to check in or check out students. All faculty and staff will have their ID badges on and the pass we give to any guests will identify you as such. This, of course, is not all that we will be doing to secure campus, but these are the procedures that will have significance to students and families.
Please do not deliver food to students or have a service deliver it to students. It will be confiscated and given to the student at the end of the day. We had an incident this week wherein a family put a delivery in a bag in order to hide it and this is unacceptable. Please follow our rules.

JWMHS is open tomorrow. Please come to school as we DO NOT have off on Monday.
I want to remind everyone that at JWMHS safety is of paramount importance to me and all of our faculty and staff. We have procedures and guidelines in place so that students are safe. I ask that you talk with your children about following our rules and procedures, from signing out with permission to being to class on time to not skipping and wandering the halls. In the event of any emergency, we have procedures and guidelines that we follow to keep people safe. We practice these frequently. I ask that you tell your children to take them seriously. If you come to school for some reason and happen to be involved in a drill, I ask that you take it seriously. I also ask that you follow our guidelines and procedures. I hope that we never experience anything even remotely close to what happened this past week. Following procedures will keep as many safe in all circumstances as possible. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.
The Friday during RANCH, we will be reviewing safety and other policies and procedures with all students, faculty and staff. Please be in your RANCH class on time and ready to listen.

Highlights from the Weekly School Messenger for the Week of February 12th
This School Connects has a lot of procedural reminders as we all can use a refresher on some of the rules of our campus.
Please review the Dress Code. It is warming up again and I want to make everyone aware that off the shoulder shirts are not allowed. Remember the fingertip rule when picking out shorts, skirts, and dresses. Hats are not allowed inside or outside of buildings. Of course, these are not the only violations of the Dress Code, just ones that we have been seeing lately.
We have been having a lot of deliveries of food from restaurants, pizza places, and fast food places to our campus via Uber Eats, families, and other delivery services. Due to Federal Food and Nutrition regulations, JWMHS is a closed campus. This means that students are not allowed to leave campus for lunch and these deliveries are not allowed. Please DO NOT order or have food delivered to campus as it will be confiscated until the end of the school day.
We would also like to remind students and parents that students cannot carry any kind of medication on campus, including over the counter medicine. It is a violation of the Code of Conduct. Please take all medication to our School Clinic.
For our juniors and seniors who want to attend prom be in school and do not receive referrals for skipping, leaving campus without permission, or any Level 3 referrals, including tobacco and vaping violations. We will be looking at those on Loss of Privilege for attendance and off-track grades. If you are a sophomore or freshmen who is a guest of a junior or senior, these rules will also apply.
As a further reminder, vaping is not allowed on campus. When you vape on campus, have vape pens or other types of vapes, refills, and juice, you are violating the Code of Conduct and it is a Level 3 offense. You will have the vape and all of the accessories confiscated, receive school consequences, including OSS, and a tobacco citation from the School Resource Officer.
