\"Jmst<\/a>Jamestown (CSi) Jamestown Public Schools announces that Jamestown High School will begin classes on August 27, 2015. Doors will open at 8 a.m. and all students will report to their assigned homerooms at 8:47 a.m. to complete enrollment forms and receive locker assignments. Periods one through three classes will meet beginning at 9:30 a.m. for 25 minutes each. Periods four through eight will meet at the regular times.<\/p>\n

Four new teachers will be at JHS this fall. Jacob Denault will be teaching math, Amber Ramlo and Molly Schultz will be teaching science, and Brittany Hernandez will be the speech pathologist.<\/p>\n

Once again this fall all JHS students will receive one-quarter credit per year for participation in homeroom. Grading will be S\/U and will not affect students\u2019 grade point averages. Students earn satisfactory grades by their attendance and completion of the grade level homeroom curriculum. Parents may contact their student\u2019s homeroom teacher if they have any questions about homeroom.<\/p>\n

Student pictures will be taken August 28, 2015. Students will receive order packets in their homerooms on the first day of school for those who wish to purchase. No purchase is necessary, but all students need to have a photo taken for their school ID and the yearbook.<\/p>\n

All students will receive a student planner. Parents are encouraged to review the planner for schedules and school policies. The planner also contains individual school phone numbers for staff and other information for students and parents.<\/p>\n

Freshmen orientation will be held at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 25 in the JHS theater. All members of the Class of 2019 and their parents are encouraged to attend. Those attending will hear from building administrators and counselors about policies, procedures and opportunities for the school year. Schedule cards will be handed out to those freshmen in attendance. Students and parents will be invited to participate in a meet-the-teacher orientation following the meeting by reporting to each scheduled class for a short briefing from each teacher.<\/p>\n

Students who are new to the district and attending JHS for the first time should plan to attend a new student orientation sponsored by the JHS Student Council. The orientation will be held in the JHS commons at 11 a.m. on Aug. 25. Any questions about the new student orientation may be referred to JHS at 952-4003 or student council adviser Ken Gardner at 952-4219.<\/p>\n

Schedule cards will be handed out in the commons on August 19 and 20 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. JHS guidance counselors Gayle Nelson, Julie Skunberg and Mike Soulis will be on hand during these two days to assist with schedule concerns. Also at this time students and parents can take care of paying for busing, school lunches, and purchase activity tickets. Schedule cards will be available for seniors and sophomores on Wednesday, and juniors and freshmen on Thursday. Textbooks will be issued by classroom teachers when classes begin on Aug. 27.<\/p>\n

Parents are reminded that their student\u2019s grades and attendance information are available online using the PowerSchool software. Call JHS at 952-4003 after school starts if you need access to your information. Everyone is encouraged to check out the JHS website at www.jamestown.k12.nd.us\/jhs <http:\/\/www.jamestown.k12.nd.us\/jhs><\/span><\/span><\/span> for additional information and phone numbers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
