August Back to School Parent Pride Newsletter

JCA Families,
 
These five past months have been some of the most challenging we all have endured, and the curveballs thrown at scheduling over the past week with storms, power outages, water main breaks, etc. have not helped. The good news is that our community (parents, students, teachers and staff) is resilient! One of the most important things throughout the past five months has been to stay connected; either in-person or virtually, and communication is key to staying connected.
 
Each month, on the first Monday of the month, the JCA communications office releases a Parent Newsletter. The JCA Parent Newsletter highlights news and events for that upcoming month of school. Due to the nature of COVID-19, we have, and will continue to have more e-mails, School Reach phone calls, and social media posts than usual. Also, in the event that you missed an e-mail, or phone call, never hesitate to contact JCA at communications@jca-online.org with a question or concern.
 
The following newsletter contains the most up-to-date information on Back to School dates, events, times, and procedures. Also, we have updated the JCA Return to School Plan and the JCA Parent-Student Handbook. The Return to School Plan will be included in the Parent-Student Handbook, as well as the most up-to-date IDPH (Illinois Department of Public Health) and ISBE (Illinois State Board of Education) guidelines and procedures for schools reopening in person.
 
Also, due to the Freshman Parent Orientation cancellation, we have included a video below for all JCA Parents regarding important information for beginning the 2020-2021 school year.
