From Rob Barnwell, JISD Superintendent
JISD administrators have decided that we do not want parents to worry about providing school supplies this year for their children. Necessary supplies will be bought and provided for by the district.
Therefore, JISD will make arrangements to ensure your student has the supplies he/she needs to have a successful school year. You may still buy your children their own personal notebooks, backpacks, or other supplies as you deem appropriate. We just want to let you know that all the necessary/required items will be provided. (For example, we plan to provide items such as notebook paper, folders, pens, pencils, scissors, glue, kleenex, sanitizing materials, pencil bags, highlighters, crayons, markers, earbuds, etc.) We hope this helps during these difficult times.
We will be communicating with you in the coming weeks regarding plans and protocols related to the start of school this fall.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for allowing us to educate your children, and we hope all is well with you and your families.
