Good evening JES Parents/Guardians! I just wanted to congratulate our students and families for a terrific first day back! The day went very smoothly considering all of the changes that took place this year. It was so wonderful to see our students again. Please click on the link below to see the Julesburg Elementary School Student/Parent Handbook. This is our general school handbook so it does not necessarily reflect the changes we made this year to best meet the health and safety requirements of our students and staff. Those changes include, the grab and go breakfast at the end of the day for the next morning, lunch in the classroom, arrival and dismissal procedures, curriculum, social distancing, etc. Those changes were listed in the back-to-school letter that was sent to all parents a couple of weeks ago. If you would like a hard copy of this handbook and/or the back-to-school letter, please email Rhonda Palic at palic_rh@julesburg.org or call the elementary school at 970-474-3364 to request a copy. Thank you again for preparing your children for a terrific first day back.

The Julesburg School District will not be serving breakfast each morning in the elementary cafeteria or at the high school each day due to the challenges of social distancing related to Covid-19. Instead, we will record a breakfast count each morning during attendance and will prepare a breakfast that will be delivered to your child (in their classroom) at the end of each school day. This breakfast will be for the next morning. In order to get a more accurate count, please fill out the the form indicating your intent for your child to receive a breakfast at the end of each school day. Students qualifying for free and reduced meals will still receive a free breakfast. Students not qualifying for free and/or reduced meals can still request a breakfast and will be charged the breakfast cost of $1.60. By filling out this form, this verifies your permission for your child to request a breakfast each morning. You only need to fill this out once. Please click on the link below to sign up for breakfast.

Dear Julesburg Jr./Sr. High School Parents and Students,
As a JHS graduate, I am both honored and excited to be your new 7-12 Principal. My parents are Randy and Susan. I have two siblings. Kerri lives in McCook with her husband, Andy and their three children. Matthew, and his wife, Anna, live in Loveland. They have three children. My wife, Alissa, will be working as our Online/Ag Learning Facilitator and as the Head Coach for the High School Volleyball team. We have five children. Our oldest, Dylan will be a freshman at Regis University. Jensen will be a sophomore. Tate is entering the 7th grade. Addison will be a 5th grader and our youngest, Jace, is excited about 2nd grade.
We are excited to announce the arrival of two new teachers. Ms. Brianne Foreman taught Social Studies in the Denver metro area. Our new English teacher, Mr. Peyman Javadi is an experienced teacher that has been approved to teach College English and Public Speaking to JHS students through NJC. I am excited for these two new teachers to join our outstanding returning staff members.
While this school year will be different from school years in the past, the School Board and Administrative team have been working hard to ensure students can safely return. Here are some of the changes for the upcoming school year:
· The first day of school will begin with a virtual assembly during first period.
· Students who want a school breakfast will be given one after school for the next day.
· Students will enter the school at 8 am through the exterior door of their first period class.
· 7-12 students may eat at the lunch room or stay at the high school for a grab-and-go style lunch. Social distancing requirements will be enforced. Students will be allowed to leave campus for lunch.
· Since it is impossible to maintain social distancing, lockers will not be issued. Students will take their supplies with them to each class. Teachers may have designated areas for students to leave supplies.
· Masks will be recommended, unless required by the Governor’s Executive Order.
· Students will not be allowed to congregate while on school property.
· Good hygiene is recommended. Students should wash their hands or use sanitizer regularly.
· Traffic during passing periods will be limited to one-way traffic. Signs will be posted.
· Restroom usage will be regulated to make sure there are not too many students using the bathrooms at the same time due to small space limitations in the restrooms.
· Students need to bring their own water and water bottles from home. There is one water bottle filing station located in the gym that students may use to fill their water bottle throughout the day.
· Parents are encouraged to take their child’s temperature before sending their student to school. If the child has a fever or is exhibiting unexplained COVID-19 symptoms, then the child must stay home.
· If a student becomes ill at school, he/she will be sent to a quarantine room until a parent or guardian can come to school to pick the student up.
Please keep in mind, your child’s health and well-being were at the forefront of every decision that was made. On a personal note, I can’t wait to introduce myself and my family to those of you who don’t already know us. If I can be of any assistance to you, please email me or call me at (970) 474-3364.
Sincerely,
Mr. Ryan Renquist

● Send your child to school with a clean mask daily.

If temperature reaches 99.4, keep your child home for 48 hours, with 24 hours of no temperature without fever reducing medication. ○ Keep your child home if they have an unexplained fever, cough, cold or flu symptoms, and have them return only when these symptoms have subsided for 48 hours, with 24 hours of no temperature without aid of fever reducing medication. ● Create a family plan: ○ In case your child is sent home from school/bus due to high temperature or is required to be quarantined or isolated. ○ In the event schools close for a 14-day quarantine. ● Talk to your child about changes they may notice at school, reinforcing that these measures are in place to preserve their health, and the health of those around them. ● As always, please reinforce the importance of respecting the responsibility of teachers and staff to maintain order in the classroom, the hallway, and other campus areas. ● Prepare to adapt to change. 2 ○ From March 13, 2020 to today, we know that things evolve quickly, and schedule modifications and/or closures may be unavoidable. ● Understand that we are here to assist you with your child’s educational needs. ● Know that you as a guardian and parent have the right to keep your child home at any time as you assess risk as it relates to your family.
