Jennings County Schools Food Service Department participates in the USDA National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs. Each school offers a nutritious breakfast and lunch daily. We use a pre-pay/debit computerized meal system to process student purchases in an efficient, confidential manner. It is important that students memorize their meal account number, as they will need it in the cafeteria for each meal. Students should keep their numbers confidential.

Yes, but any student carrying a cell phone must keep it concealed and turned off between the hours of 7:50 a.m. and 3:05 p.m. Students may not use cell phones on school buses. 

At the teachers’ discretion, students may be allowed to use cell phones for educational purposes during class. Students may also use their cell phones to listen to music or play age/school appropriate games during lunch inside the cafeteria. 

If a student uses a cell phone inappropriately or at an unauthorized time, staff members may confiscate the phone and begin disciplinary action. Parents may pick up confiscated phones in the main office between 7:50 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

If your child must miss school, please call the school office on the day of his/her absence. For information about attendance requirements and what qualifies as an excused absence, please refer to our student handbook.

It may be necessary for the school to close or have delayed openings during the school year because of weather conditions or unsafe driving conditions. WJCP, WKRP, WINN, and WKKG radio stations, as well as WAVE, WISH, and WLKY television stations will broadcast school closing information if weather warrants closing. Parents and students should not call the principal, teachers, or the school to request this information. If school is closed for a day, all middle school activities, including games, practices, and meetings, will be canceled.
