The EMS and high school libraries are collaborating with the Nortonville Public Library for The Great Pumpkin Contest! Students in kindergarten through 12 grade were encouraged to illustrate pumpkins with their favorite book character or favorite book cover. Stop by the public library and look at the amazing art work.
HVAC systems are reaching the end of their lifecycle at the EMS and high s hool. Updating HVAC is expensive up front, but the district will save on energy costs down the road. Check this out: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SSSdQbDB8k6hsoKCk7bZ5uJQlQ-9KH-D/view?usp=sharing
Question: What’s the enrollment trend for USD 339? Is our enrollment stable or declining?
Answer: Enrollment fluctuates a bit each year as families move in and out, but our enrollment is stable and has increased slightly. K-12 enrollment is up this year, although numbers at the high school enrollment is lower due to a large graduating class; 9-12 enrollment is 117 for 2024-25.. Based on current enrollment information at the lower grade levels, we predict that JCNHS will have an enrollment of 133 (2025-26), 143 (2026-27), 138 (2027-28), and 157 (2028-29). During the same time, district JCN district K-12 enrollment is projected to increase from 436 (2024-25) to 453 (2028-29). These projections are based on preschool enrollment and county birth statistics.

The bond provides the opportunity to create a more secure environment by building additional classrooms to host all classes in one building. The front entry would be updated to include a secure entry point for all visitors.
5th hour HS Art students decided that they wanted their 1st quarter project to be a collaboration to make a mural on the classroom's cabinets. The cabinets were in desperate need for a facelift and they did a fabulous job making their ideas come to life!
A large portion of the bond goes toward building life and efficiency. 2.5 million would be dedicated to roof repairs/replacements and HVAC and lighting upgrades at the EMS and High School.
At the Nortonville Fall Fest today discussing all the great things the bond will bring to JCN. Come by a pick up flyers.
In September we celebrated Dot Day in the EMS library. Mrs. Courtney read The Dot by Peter Reynolds to K-6th graders. The Dot is about growth mindset and being creative. The older students illustrated their dot with something new they tried. The younger students decorated their dots with their favorite colors. Our library looks beautiful with all these dots.
Last week was National 4-H week. Some of our 4-H students exhibited some of their projects in the library. It is awesome to see student success outside of school.

The project would replace obsolete fire alarm systems at the EMS and high schools. The new system would allow for all emergency communication, including fire, tornado, and crisis, through one system. Communication in emergencies is vital for increased safety and security.
Sophomores had the chance to visit Washburn Tech today to explore the programs available for their Junior and Senior years.
