NATIONAL AMERICORPS WEEK | Through the Department of Student Support Services and the Office of Community Support Services, JCPS has proudly operated the AmeriCorps REACH Corps program for 15 years. REACH Corps members serve at elementary and middle schools, supporting students who show early signs of disengagement. Our goal is to help students reach their full academic potential and graduate on time. Join us in celebrating our 18 dedicated JCPS REACH Corps members, who have committed this year to serving our most precious resource—our students!

Be on the lookout, Spring Picture order forms came home today! Spring picture day is 3/12. Just a few reminders: Students will not be permitted to take pictures unless you order photos. You can either order photos with cash and send it in with the envelope that came home, or you can pay online and make sure you include the order number you recieve on the envelope that is attached to the handout.  Students may come out of uniform if they are taking pictures, but remember to dress your best! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the school! Thanks!

Hi Families, We have realized that Class Picture day is during Black History Month Spirit Week next week. They are allowed to participate in that day and wear Red,Black, and Green for African Flag day. If not participating in the Spirit Week, then they must remain in uniform. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to the schooll. We are very sorry for the confusion. Thank You, Layne Elementary
