Dear Railblazer Families,
We are excited to welcome you to **Open House on Thursday, August 20, beginning at 4:30 p.m.!**
**Bus passes will be distributed to families during Open House.** If your child will ride a bus this school year, **please make every effort to attend** so you can receive your child’s bus pass and important transportation information before the first day of school.
⚠️ **Please Note:** A delay in picking up your child’s bus pass **may result in a delay in your child being able to access and ride their assigned bus.** Picking up the bus pass at Open House will help ensure your child is ready for transportation from the start of the school year.
We want every Railblazer to have a **safe, smooth, and successful start**, and we appreciate your partnership in helping us prepare!
We can’t wait to see our Railblazer families on August 20!

Estimadas familias de Railblazer:

**Los pases de autobús se entregarán a las familias durante la Casa Abierta.** Si su hijo(a) utilizará el autobús escolar este año, **por favor haga todo lo posible por asistir** para recibir su pase de autobús y la información importante sobre el transporte antes del primer día de clases.
⚠️ **Nota importante:** Un retraso en recoger el pase de autobús de su hijo(a) **puede causar un retraso en el acceso de su hijo(a) al autobús escolar asignado.** Recoger el pase durante la Casa Abierta ayudará a asegurar que su hijo(a) esté preparado(a) para utilizar el transporte escolar desde el comienzo del año.
Queremos que cada Railblazer tenga un **comienzo seguro, tranquilo y exitoso**, y agradecemos su colaboración para ayudarnos a estar preparados.
¡Esperamos ver a todas nuestras familias Railblazer el 20 de agosto!

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.
