For all parents/guardians: For your convenience, our Department of Health nurses will be offering the Flumist vaccine here at our school on October 14th. Your student will bring home consent forms and an information packet on Monday 8/25/25. The consent form is a front and back page that must be completed and returned to the school no later than Monday September 8, 2025 for your student to receive the Flumist vaccine on campus during our vaccine clinic. Please review this packet, complete both the front and the back of the consent form, and return to the school by 9/8/25 if you wish to take advantage of this convenient opportunity. This year, our health department will be administering the nasal FluMist vaccine to every age group of students. No student will receive a vaccine without a properly completed consent form.

Hello Jay Elementary Families,
This is Josh Pape with an important message for parents and families. We will be conducting a lockdown drill at school tomorrow (August 20th) as part of our regular emergency drill process as required by state law. We know that drills can cause possible concerns for our students, but we believe it’s important for them to know exactly what to do in an emergency and these practice drills enhance their safety. For this first drill, we wanted to give even more advanced notice, so that families can have discussions at home and reduce any concerns that could arise. Thank you for your partnership to ensure drills, such as this, go smoothly.
