Please join us today for open house at Jenkins Middle High School from 4:30 - 6:00. Report cards will be distributed and dinner will be provided. Mountain Comprehensive Health Care will be here to provide COVID-19 vaccines to anyone who wished to get it.
We want to let our parents know and remind our students that we need all of our third through eighth grade students here at school the next two days. We will be involved in some state testing. Third through eighth grade students will take a Reading test tomorrow and their Math test on Wednesday. Please come to school and be ready to try your best. Can't wait to see you.
Congratulations to our very own Savannah Wright for signing to cheer with the University of Pikeville this fall. We are all very proud of you.
Fall Festival
Burdine Elementary will celebrate Red Ribbon Week with the following dress up days! Red Ribbon Week 2021: Drug Free Looks Like Me!
JMHS celebrates Red Ribbon Week next week with dress up days.
Picture Day has been rescheduled for Monday, October 25 starting at 8:30.
We will also be taking Senior pictures including Formal pictures. A $10 sitting fee applies for the senior formal pictures.
Burdine Elementary will TRUNK OR TREAT on October 29th @ 10:00! Businesses, organizations, and parents are welcome to participate by bringing treats for our students, dressing up, and handing out candy...okay so the dress up part is JUST encouraged, but the candy is a must! I'm so excited, this is something we've missed out on due to COVID; all COVID guidelines will be followed, if inside, participants will be required to mask up and we will spread out to meet requirements! Students will be allowed to dress up and we will parade them around outside and if it's nasty outside, we will move inside to the lunchroom! If you are interested in setting up or know of a business or organization that would like to set up, please contact us in the office (832-2711)! If the business is unable to attend, but would like to donate, we will have support staff willing to hand out their candy/treats.
We want to remind all students and families that we'll be returning to in-person instruction tomorrow, October 11, 2021. Please remember to bring your device to school with you, along with your charger. Can't wait to see you!
