2023-2024 Transportation Bus Request Form

Dear Tiger Families,

As we plan for the upcoming 2023 - 2024 school year, the transportation department needs to update the student rider membership information. We are providing every student riding the bus a copy of the transportation request form for the 2023 - 2024 school year.

Please complete the paper copy and have your child return it to their bus driver (one copy per household) or go online to the transportation page of the website and click on the request link.

If you do not have a child riding this year and you will need transportation next year, you can fill out the request online or you can call the transportation department directly at (330) 872-7295.

Thank you for your cooperation,

John Crowder

2023-2024 JHHS Remote Learning Enrollment

Dear Parent/Guardian,

As we approach the end of the current school year, I wanted to take this opportunity to share an important reminder regarding our plans for remote learning for the 23-24 school year. At the conclusion of this current school year, all remote students will be transferred back to in-person learning.

If you wish for your child to continue remote learning for the 23-24 school year, we have established a process to evaluate and accommodate these requests on a case-by-case basis. To be considered for remote learning, you will need to complete the enclosed application form and submit it to the school office by Monday, August 14th, 2023. Please note that approval for remote learning is contingent upon several factors, including the student's academic progress and previous demonstration of success with remote learning. Participation in remote learning during the 22-23 school year does not guarantee approval for the 23-24 school year.

We understand that there may be various reasons why some families may prefer to continue with remote learning, and we respect your choices. However, it is important to emphasize that we firmly believe in the immense benefits of in-person education and its positive impact on students' overall development.

I encourage you to reach out to our school office if you have any questions or concerns regarding the application process for remote learning for the 23-24 school year. We are here to support you and provide any necessary assistance throughout this process.

Thank you for your continued partnership and trust in our school. We look forward to an exciting year ahead, filled with academic achievements, personal growth, and shared experiences.

Wishing you and your family a wonderful summer break!

Sincerely,
Rachael M. Rankin Rachael M. Rankin, M.S. Ed., Ed. S.

JHHS Student Handbook

For information about the Junior High/High School's Code of Conduct, Dress Code, Discipline Procedures, Grading Procedures, Student Use of Technology, Use of Telephones, and more, go to JHHS Student Handbook

Student Tardiness to School

Students are required to be at school on time. Students arriving to school tardy will be penalized after their third offense for an unexcused tardy. A student may be suspended when reaching the excessive number of tardiness. All excused tardiness are not penalized.

The Junior High/High School requires that parents provide the school with a written excuse for an early dismissal. Students will take the excuse to the Attendance Office (Junior High Office) when arriving at school and receive a slip to leave school at the appointed time. We ask that parents not arrive and request students be dismissed. It is a disruptive and timely issue for office personnel and teachers. No student will be dismissed during the last thirty minutes of the school day. In an emergency, please make a phone call informing us of your need to have your child dismissed.

Doors Open

The Junior High/High School opens its doors at 7:10 AM. Doors will be opened at 7:00 AM when the weather requires the students to come in from the rain, snow or extreme cold. Students will sit in the Commons-Cafeteria until 7:10 AM. Otherwise, the students will remain on the walkways until the entry bell sounds at 7:10 AM.

Newton Falls Alma Mater

To Newton Falls we stand and sing,
And praise to alma mater bring.
Ever will our thoughts to thee
Be pledged in love and loyalty.
Friendships true and memories dear
Will live throughout each coming year.
Fellowship within thy halls
Has bound our hearts to Newton Falls

Attendance Concerns

Parents are reminded to call in daily absences to the Attendance Office at 330-872-0905. Failure to notify the school of a child's absence will result in the absence being declared "unexcused." Unexcused absences may result in the child not receiving academic credit. If the absence is extended beyond one day, it is best to provide us with that information. Our school system sends out a daily notification to parents if their child is reported absent at the start of the school day. This call is placed to the home after 10:00 AM.
