Students return to class next week Jefferson starts Monday; Jackson County schools begin Thursday

Wednesday, July 27. 2011

For students, this is the last week of summer freedom — as they’ll return to school next week.

Students in the Jefferson City School System will return to class on Monday, Aug. 1, followed by Jackson County School System students on Thursday, Aug. 4.

Meanwhile, teachers in Jefferson started their pre-planning days on Tuesday and will continue through this Friday. Jackson County teachers will hold their pre-planning days Monday and Tuesday, Aug. 1-2.

A furlough day for Jefferson City School System employees was held Monday, while Jackson County School System workers will take a furlough day the day before class starts on Wednesday, Aug. 3.

For the 2011-2012 school year, the superintendents for both school systems foresee a minimal increase in their student populations.

For the full story, see the July 27 issue of The Jackson Herald either in print or online.

Anyone else dealing with this?
My JHS high schoolers were placed in classes that they never asked for or need.
The preplanning done with each student seems to not correlate with the classes given?
The students have to attend classes for two days, in classes they don't belong. The students have tried Friday, Monday, and Tuesday, to get this corrected but there is no help it seems. Parent calls are not returned?
The phones seem to be turned off after 3pm as well.
New schedules are promised but never received.
Some students were giving the same subject over and over per class day. You can't have a child taking 3 maths a day?

A parent can only leave so many messages....?
The office is offering no help what so ever when you call.....
Help.......

Try emailing the JHS guidance counselor with your request. I met with the counselor Friday and she quickly processed my student's request change.

Good luck!
