We have found an opponent for our Varsity football team on Friday. They will be traveling to Mohave Accelerated at 7pm.
The youth flag football camp will be rescheduled for another date. Updates coming soon. We apologize for any inconvenience.
In a special Board Meeting, our Governing Board voted to change our Spring Break to March 15, 2027 – March 19, 2027 to align with NPC’s Spring Break for our students.
Due to this change, our Spring Parent Teacher Conferences will be March 11, 2027 with an early release for students that day.
The public calendar on jcusd.org reflects the changes.
(Thank you to my editor, John R.)
ATTENTION FANS -
We have two important updates regarding High School Athletics:
1. VOLLEYBALL - Mogollon is unable to host their volleyball games with us, Thursday, 8/27.
We will be hosting instead!
FR/JV/Varsity games tomorrow at 4/5/6pm.
2. FOOTBALL - Valley Lutheran has forfeited the Varsity Football game on Friday, 8/28.
We will not be hosting a football game this weekend.
Remember, our games are now cashless. Card only for tickets and concessions.
From AR reading to American Self-Government review stations, my students have been working hard! I’m so proud to see them collaborating, supporting one another, and preparing together for Thursday’s test. Their teamwork makes all the difference!

Environmental Science is trying their hand at creating a perfectly balanced ecosystem.
Their goal is to have the perfect balance of water in the terrarium and to have the water cycle and nitrogen cycle be perfectly balanced and cycle continually.
The longest record for a sealed terrarium to continue to live is over 60 years.
Mrs. Bushman has one that is over 2 years old.
Biology looked at insects and then wrote a lab predicting things about them based on what they saw.
Identification of the insect was not part of the lab.
They’re not wrong—no sparks have flown yet! Instead, we’ve spent the last 15 days mastering shop safety (because burning the building down on week two is frowned upon) Today we learned how to read a tape measure. Turns out, "about three of those tiny lines past the 4" isn't an official trade measurement.
The real win? The majority of the class just passed their very first NCCER exam today! They are officially on track to earn their full NCCER Core certification.
Building tradespeople takes patience, standard units of measurement, and a whole lot of safety rules. The sparks will be flying soon enough, but for now, these kids are laying a solid foundation. 👨🏭🔥📐
We will check them under the microscope next week to identify what we have collected.
Since they couldn't look up answers to questions using Google, they started looking in books.
Instead of looking up answers to specific questions, they just looked at subjects and as they hunted through the information, they found that books are more cool than Google --> you find tid bits of information that you just didn't know.
With Google you have to know what questions to ask. But what if you don't know what questions to ask? Books are a treasure chest of information to dig through --> everyone loved looking through books to see what treasure they could find.
They observed how a magnetic field can affect the path of the charged particles in the tube.
The were able to see Neon, Oxygen, Helium, Hydrogen, and Mercury --> all emitting a different colors on the Visible Light Spectrum.
