JCPS continues to improve its school performance grades! 🌟
We are proud to announce that 89% of our schools received a school letter grade of A, B, or C according to recent data, surpassing the state average of 66%. This is a tremendous increase since 2018, when 65% of our schools were identified as the same.
Through dedication and hard work, three schools moved from a letter grade of C to B, and four schools moved from D to C! 👏

Aubrey is such a compassionate friend in class. She is always looking for others who need help. She is the first to help a friend clean up a mess, offer to help go over what they should be doing or simply helping a student find their page number in our math or reading books. She truly embodies what it means to be a compassionate leader in our classroom. Congratulations Aubrey for being our Puma of the Week!
Come join us tomorrow, Oct. 5th @ Smith's Nursery from 9am - 5pm. Remember to show your flyer or this post for Polenta to get credit!
JCPS communities came together in an extraordinary way for our neighbors in Western North Carolina! 🌟
Donations from our schools for the Hurricane Helene Relief filled three dump trailers, three 3 box trucks, two pickup trucks, and two vans! This outpouring of kindness, compassion, and generosity is what our school system is built upon. We thank everyone involved in this effort!
We continue to keep everyone affected by this devastating event in our hearts! ❤
Thousands of supplies. Hundreds of donors. One common goal…helping those in their time of need. ❤
Today our Facility Services team gathered supplies from our schools, which were Hurricane Helene Relief donation sites. In a few hours, these supplies will be transported to Western North Carolina.
Thank you to the many, many students, parents, and staff who have responded promptly and compassionately.
Also, a special thanks to Johnston County Government and the Johnston County Sheriff's Office for allowing us to partner with you in this effort. 🤝
As we provide critical assistance to our neighbors in Western North Carolina, here's a reminder of our district's partnership with Johnston County Government's Hurricane Helene Relief Effort.
The region is in dire need of new, unused blankets. As you continue supporting the relief efforts, place these at the top of the list.
Thank you!
Yesterday we celebrated all day our wonderful team of custodians at our school. Thank you is not enough for all the things you do for us to keep our school clean and safe on a daily basis. We appreciate you so much!
