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!

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!

For kids who rely on school meals, summer can be the hungriest time of year, and hunger has short- and long-term consequences for a child’s health, education and well-being. Making sure kids and teens have access to nutritious summer meals is especially important this summer.
The Summer Meals program is funded by the USDA and run by school districts and local organizations, and sites can be found throughout the community. We’re always happy to see you at various locations throughout Johnston County, but there may be more convenient locations closer to you. Families can text “FOOD” or “COMIDA” to 304-304 and type in a zip code to find nearby summer meals sites, along with operating days and times. No application, registration or proof of residency or citizenship is required at sites.
