End of Quarter 2 and Semester 1 on Thursday, January 16. Quarter three begins on Monday January 20, which is also Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday.
As we continue to dwell in the cold and flu season, now is a good time to make sure to remind children to wash hands and get their needed time to rest to stay healthy.

Weather/School Postponement/Early Dismissal/Cancellation Items: The district will once again be utilizing the JMC student information system to notify individuals of school related weather postponements, early dismissals, e-learning days and school cancellations. Individuals that want/need to be notified will be communicated with one or more of the following methods: phone call, email or text message from the district informing them of any school related announcement.
If you miss a call from the school, we ask that you not call the school directly. First check your voicemail, because a message will most likely have been left sharing the information you missed. Please make sure all contact information is up to date in the JMC database. Individuals are able to login via the hbcpatriots.com website to make sure contact infor-mation is up to date, send an email or call either school’s office to assist.
