Our students are making headlines, and we want to share all the great news with you. We will keep this page updated with important announcements, news stories, and student shout outs. Please check in often and help us celebrate our students’ many achievements.
We have many achievements to be proud of! Check out our Scipio Elementary Panther Pluses for up-to-date accomplishments. Our students never cease to amaze us!
The Free Lunch All Summer Hooray! (FLASH) program will continue in Jennings County this summer. Please see our FLASH program flyer for dates, times, and locations.
Another new school year is right around the corner! We want to help you stay organized over the summer as you prepare for the 2019–2020 school year. Our new school supply list is available now to help you with your back-to-school shopping!
During the 2018–19 school year, the Jennings County Schools piloted a program to provide free breakfast for all students in the district. Unfortunately, the formula we used to allow us to calculate the cost of the program was not an accurate predictor of our financial commitment. While we were able to finance this program for one year, we are not able to continue it due to the financial cost of the program. While we will no longer be providing free breakfasts, we are committed to ensuring students who are hungry have meals available. Our staff will work closely with families to make sure we do not turn any student away from breakfast or lunch if they do not have money.
To learn how to apply for free or reduced price meals and textbook assistance, please see the entire letter from Superintendent Teresa Brown.
We look forward to welcoming back our students on August 6. We have many exciting opportunities planned for our students for the 2019–20 school year. Please continue to let us know how we can better serve you.
