Have a safe holiday!
During the July 14th regular scheduled meeting, the JC Board of Education approved revisions to Policy Code 4304: Code of Student Conduct.
There was special attention to Section F. 36, which provides governance for the "Possession, Display, Use, Sale or Distribution of Vapes".
Revisions define vapes and expresses that there will be a 10-day suspension for any student in violation of the code.
We strongly encourage parents to speak with your child(ren) regarding the details of the policy and the consequences moving forward.
Please know that the Johnston County Board of Education strives to mitigate health and safety concerns related to harmful substances such as tobacco products and/or vapes. The revised verbiage and the associated penalties have been set to achieve this goal.

Our first week was a great success and we are looking forward to week two. It was amazing seeing so much excitement in every classroom from students and teachers.
A few reminders: Friday was the last day for parents of 1st through 5th graders to be walked in to class by parents. Tomorrow all 1st through 5th graders should begin coming into the building on their own.
Kindergarten parents can continue walking their students in Monday and Tuesday this week.
Another reminder that all adults that come into the building are required to have their ID with them.
The tardy bell rings at 8:55am each day and students should be in their classrooms and in their seats by 8:55, ready to learn. If a student arrives after carpool has ended, and there are no adults outside, a parent is required to walk them into the office to sign them in.
Don't forget that breakfast and lunch are free for all JCPS students every day.
Lastly, on Monday September 7th there is no school for students or staff for the Labor Day holiday.
We hope everyone has a fantastic week, and remember, once a Racer, always a Racer. Have a good night.
Here’s to an amazing rest of the 2026-2027 school year! We hope you make many memories, make the most of every opportunity to learn along the way, and continue to grow and succeed!
Today, we welcomed the second group of kindergarteners for staggered entry and we look forward to having all of our newest students together tomorrow!
