Parents/Guardians,
There have been some helpful changes made on the JCPS App. If you do not see an option to "UPDATE", the easiest way to make sure you get it is to UNinstall and REinstall the Johnston County Public Schools App. You will not need a new invitation or code from your child's teacher(s). You WILL need your username and password that you currently use for the app.
Hello Parents/Guardians!

A donation of $5 will earn an instant gift Kids Heart Challenge keychain and additional donations will earn additional gifts including jump ropes, t-shirts, kickballs, socks, supersized squishy set, speaker, Finn's Lifesaver Award, and mystery gifts! Top fundraising classes will earn a glow stick party and a BONUS P.E. class! The top fundraising boy and girl will get to pie Mr. Watrous, Mrs. Johnson, AND Mr. Parrish in the face! The P.E. department will also get a certificate to purchase equipment for the gym.
