This week you should have been sent an email from our county to join our new communication tool between our school and you! Once you have the JCSWV APP downloaded in your phone, you will be able to begin using it. Be sure to follow its directions and we will teach you more about it more next week at Meet the Teacher Night! This is where you will email teachers and find other important classroom information they submit.
