We're just FIVE days from the first day of school! Can you believe it?! Be sure to check the Johnston County Public Schools mobile app off of your school supplies list! Parents, teachers, and students will use the mobile app for our two-way communication tool this school year! Download it in the Apple or Google Play store today so you're ready for the first day!
All students enrolled in a qualifying Johnston County Public School (with the exception of 5 non-qualifying schools) will receive a healthy Breakfast and lunch at no cost to the household this upcoming school year through the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP).
Households of students that attend a qualifying CEP school will no longer need to submit a Free and Reduced Meal Benefit Application for the upcoming school year. Students that attend a non-qualifying school will still have the opportunity to submit a meal benefits application in order to qualify for free, reduced, or paid eligibility status. Applications for the 2023-2024 school year will be accepted starting July 10, 2023.

Corinth-Holders Elementary Families - help us welcome your new Interim Principal, Mr. Kenneth Bennett! The Johnston County Board of Education named Mr. Bennett Interim Principal at their regular session meeting this evening.
Mr. Bennett is a long-time JCPS administrator, former JCPS Principal of the Year, and an outstanding educator. We look forward to all of the wonderful things he and the CHES Pirates will do together! Families should look for further communication for the 2023-2024 school year to come from Mr. Bennett and his team in the coming days.
Our families seemed to like the one-stop-shop format for Orientation Information on our website - so we thought we'd make school supply lists just as convenient! Supply lists for our elementary and middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year are available now at: www.johnston.k12.nc.us/schoolsupplies
We hope this makes you getting ready for the first day of school - August 28th - a little bit easier!

Good Evening JCPS Families,
We hope you will join us at one of our Summer Information Fairs, happening this Monday and Tuesday.
We’re hosting a Summer Information Fair at eight of our schools on July 31 and August 1st. We invite families to attend the information fair in their student’s feeder pattern.
The Information Fair will provide parents an opportunity to request, verify, and ensure your student has bus transportation and receive meal service information prior to the opening of school. While students won’t receive their bus number at the Information Fair, attending and signing up for transportation guarantees that the student will have transportation on the first day of school. Bus information is expected to be shared at Orientation. If your student does not ride a bus, back to school information will be provided at Orientation.
We’ll also have staff on hand for families who need assistance with enrolling their student for the upcoming school year.
The Summer Information Fair will be held from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM on Monday, July 31st at North Johnston Middle, Cleveland High, Corinth Holders High, and South Johnston High.
We will hold Information Fairs the following day, Tuesday, August 1st from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Clayton Middle, Smithfield-Selma High, Princeton High, and West Johnston High schools.
You can find more information by visiting the home page of our website. We hope to see you there!
The 2023-2024 school year is just one month away! Orientation information is available now! Find your school's orientation information by visiting: www.johnston.k12.nc.us/orientation
We're so excited to introduce our new and improved mobile app to our JCPS community! We've been hard at work to overhaul our mobile app and offer our users an even better experience. We're offering a NEW app in the Apple and Google Play store - that our parents and students alike will want to download before the start of the school year!
We'll use our mobile app to send you important information about your school, share athletic schedules, and post our lunch menus every day!
The most important feature: our mobile app is going to house our new two-way communication tool for students, teachers, and parents. It's called Rooms - and you're going to love it! Download the JCPS mobile app today so you're ahead of the game!
Our community partners have scheduled their annual Back to School Youth Explosion! Families are invited to come out to Clayton High School on August 13 from 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM for free haircuts, braids, backpacks, food, and fun to kick off the upcoming school year! Mark your calendar and come out to enjoy the fun!
Just because our students in the class of 2023 have graduated - that doesn't mean we've forgotten about them! Our amazing Student Services staff has partnered with JCC to offer a really amazing event this summer - Free Coffee, Donuts, and Tuition! They held an event earlier this summer where recent high school grads were invited out to Dunkin Donuts, where JCPS and JCC staff helped with applications to JCC (which is offering FREE tuition!!) - and there was free coffee and donuts, to boot!
It was so successful that they're holding another event - this Monday, July 17th at the Smithfield Dunkin Donuts Location from 2:00 - 4:00 PM. We hope to see our recent grads there!

Our wonderful custodial staff were hard at it and learning new strategies to keep our schools environments in tip-top shape. Last week's team building and training exercises were informative, interactive, and a great opportunity for the entire team to grow closer.
Way to go team! ✨
