Jayenne Elementary School

MCS will gather information about the levels of proficiency in English Language Arts and Math for grades 1 to 10 today through Sept. 17. This beginning of the year benchmark will help teachers plan instruction and interventions for the coming school year to recover instruction.

Here is some information that was provided by our Title 1 program. Families should have received copies of this in your childs folder.

MCS provides insurance for our Dell 3100 Chromebooks . The enrollment window is open through October 4th at https://gpo.worthavegroup.com/gpo/marioncounty. Kindergarten students will get packets at their school.

As we enter the months of inclement weather, MCS is releasing information so our families may proactively plan for any weather-related interruptions that may occur. Find out more: https://5il.co/y5es.

Marion County Schools releases 2021-22 Quarantine Guidelines Summary Document at https://5il.co/xmt5. In the K–12 indoor classroom setting, a quarantine excludes students who were within 3 to 6 feet of an infected student if both the infected student and the exposed student(s) correctly and consistently wore well-fitting masks the entire time. See more information at the above link.

Given a review of Marion County trends in COVID-19 cases, in collaboration with the MC Health Department, MCS will extend the current mask mandate in all indoor spaces for all students and staff, regardless of vaccination status, to the end of the first semester. This mandate was originally in place through August 25 by MCS. It will be assessed regularly in collaboration with the MC Health Department, and it is our sincere hope that it can be lifted when local cases fall within acceptable levels.

Parents, Just a reminder that specific information will come home the first day of school for 1st-4th grade students virtual open house. Also, the first day of school please send specific information to teachers on how your student is getting home, be as detailed as possible to help us out.
