Parent Survey

Instructions for the Parent/Caregiver Survey

Below are the administration instructions for the Fall 2018 WV School Climate Survey for parents or caregivers of students at JAMS. The online parent survey will be available from October 1 through November 16, 2018.

You may complete the survey from any computer with an internet connection. You are asked to complete an online survey about school climate—the learning and teaching/working conditions—to help guide school improvement efforts. We value your feedback. The results of this survey will be used to make changes in your child’s school to ensure a positive climate for teaching and learning.

Parent participation in the survey is very important. If you have questions about the survey or have problems completing the survey, please contact the school. When you log onto the survey you will see explanatory information about the survey and the important information below as to your rights as a survey participant:

Your participation is voluntary. You may choose not to participate; not to answer any questions you do not want to answer; and you may stop participating at any time during the survey without penalty. Your responses will be anonymous and confidential. Access the Survey at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/pascswv18f

Coca-Cola Gives

John Adams is teaming up with Coca-Cola to earn money in the Coca-Cola Givesprogram. Please support JAMS by dropping off the lids from participating Coke products below. Collection boxes will be in the office, at sporting events, and in grade-level classrooms.

New Dismissal Routine

Due to the new changes concerning start times for Kanawha County Schools, John Adams will be running on different times as well. Drop off will begin at 7:15. Please do not drop students off before this time as we will not have staff members available to monitor the students. We will send students to breakfast at 7:35, and then to class at 7:50. First period will start at 8:00. We will not have Dev. Guidance in the morning, so it is very important to be on time for school. School will end at 3:05. Bus riders will be dismissed first this year. Students can be picked up in the first circle after school starting at 3:11. As always, your patience and cooperation is needed. Changes may need to be implemented as the year progresses.

Student Immunization

New this year, seventh grade students must have a well-child physical and dental exam in addition to the immunizations.

According to state law, no student is to enter school without written documentation (month, day and year) for each dose of required immunization as given below: DTaP –Four (4) doses required, the last dose must be received on or after the 4^thbirthday.

(DT may be accepted if a medical excuse is signed by a physician or if the student is seven years of age or older)
