Here is a friendly reminder to our JHHS Families. We want to make sure you are aware of a new Wednesday schedule beginning this school year.
📅 Wednesday PLC Schedule Begins September 16
Please note that the new Wednesday PLC schedule does not begin until Wednesday, September 16, 2026.
Wednesday, September 9:
School will begin at the normal time.
Beginning Wednesday, September 16:
The JHHS school day will begin at 8:20 a.m. on Wednesdays.
What Families Need to Know
🚌 Buses: Bus routes will continue to run at their normal times.
👋 Students arriving early: Students who arrive before 8:20 a.m. will have supervision in the commons.
👩🏫 Why the change? The Wednesday PLC time gives our teachers an opportunity to review student data, collaborate, and make instructional adjustments to better support student learning.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we introduce this new schedule at JHHS!
