2020-2021 Transportation Survey - Rider Registration 

This survey is being used to identify and and assign students who are going to use our school transportation service to bus routes.

The survey has two sections. 

The first section is to identify students who will not be riding the school bus. This information will be used by principals in setting their arrival and dismissal processes.

The second section is to identify students who will be riding the school bus and to determine their pick-up and drop-off addresses. Only students who register for transportation will be added to the rider's list.

Questions should be directed to:

Transportation Supervisor: Seanna Butler

Transportation for the 2020-21 school year is more complicated than ever before. 

To provide transportation to and from school, with only two students per seat and to minimize student contact on the bus, our routes will be specially set up. Operational Changes / Protocols

•Students must have a face mask to be permitted on the bus.

•Bus rides may be longer than usual because students will be picked up and dropped off at their house

•Seating will be assigned Students will be seated from the back of the bus to the front. (first students picked up go to the back of the bus and then the bus is filled from back to front, so students are not passing each other as they walk down the aisle).

•Riders from the same family will be seated together.

•Upon arrival at school students will be immediately dismissed to their classroom. (If upon arrival another bus is unloading the bus driver will wait to dismiss students until the first bus is empty and students have entered the building).

•Busses will be disinfected and cleaned between rides and after the last ride of the day.

To plan our routes, we need every student to be registered. Every parent is asked to complete this transportation survey by the end of the day on Monday, August 3rd. We need this information for both students using transportation and those who are not.

Thank You!

REOPENING JALSD PARENT SURVEY

We look forward to welcoming our students back for the 2020-21 school year.

We are working on a plan for reopening our schools that includes two learning possibilities for our students: in-person learning, and remote learning.

We need the input of parents to assist in our planning. 

The survey will be open until Friday, July 10 at 5pm. Please give us your input.

Our Parent Survey Has Now CLosed.

We realize that some parents may not want to have their child return to school in the fall because of the Covid 19 virus.

Superintendent's June 23, 2020 Update:

"A broad, diverse group of stakeholders is working to co-design the planning guide. The group includes Ohio’s major education associations, school leaders, educators, school counselors, school nurses and​ ​union representatives, among others. Officials from the Ohio Department of Health also are at the table, in addition to parents, students and business and philanthropic representatives. This cross-sector approach enables collective impact. To assure coherence, the group is considering tools and resources that have emerged locally across the state. The intent is to honor and build on those local-level efforts, respecting the importance of and need for local decision-making" .

" Based on advice from school leaders and educators, the planning guide will address actions to ensure the health and safety of students, educators and staff once school buildings reopen. This includes measures for assessing student health, practicing physical distancing, sanitizing surfaces, exercising good hygiene, wearing masks and other components relevant to a student’s daily journey—from stepping on the school bus, to learning in the classroom and eating in the cafeteria. The planning guide also will discuss caring—considerations for ensuring equity, social-emotional learning and behavioral health; teaching—approaches or professional development and effective remote learning; and learning—ideas for assessing students’ learning needs and meeting them where they are" . 

To help us plan for next year, we have created a parent survey.

The survey asks parents to evaluate our remote learning process this past year and to make suggestions for next year.

Covid 19 - Remote Education Parent / Guardian Survey (Title I)

THIS SURVEY HAS CLOSED

2020-21 School Year

The opening of school next year is uncertain. We will spend the summer planning for each of the following possibilities:

·      A normal return to school

·      A return to school with social distancing and a blended learning process with students both learning in school and remotely educating at home

·      A continuation of our current remote learning process 

As the requirements for reopening schools become clear, we will share them with our community on this page, in emails, robo calls and in the media.
