Start Of School Information

Social Security Number example

Middle & High School -Social Security Numbers (SSN)

This is critical for all students. 

  • Did you know that thousands of students don't receive free scholarship monies, often because they are just missing their Social Security Number.

  • Over 54% of JCPS students do not have a social security number listed in Infinite Campus. Without a linked SSN, students cannot earn KEES money.

All students are required to have a copy of their Social Security card as part of their official school records. Please bring a copy of your child's Social Security card to New Student Orientation. It will be photocopied and returned.
