All Student Announcements (7-12):
Pandemic-EBT Benefits for Families
Students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals may be eligible for Pandemic-Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) to purchase food for days they are not in the school building. To be considered, households must submit an application for free or reduced-price meals for the 2020-21 school year or be approved for Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Families who received P-EBT benefits last summer are not automatically eligible; eligibility is based on the current school year. Benefits may be retroactive to September 2020, depending on when eligibility for free or reduced-price meals is determined. To ensure you qualify for the most benefits, please submit your application as soon as possible. Applications can be found on the Parent Portal of your JMC Account. If you have questions please visit Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) / Minnesota Department of Human Services (mn.gov)
Attention 7-12 Students: During the regular school day, students need to enter and exit the building by the Main Office for safety and security purposes.
For your convenience, the front entryway to the high school is open from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Monday thru Friday for you to drop off and pick up items for school.
All classes will be meeting every day and the regular daily schedule will be followed.
