The Tennessee Department of Human Services (DHS) launched the Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) program to provide extra resources for families to buy food. This program is about to launch Round 3 to provide benefits backdated to October 2020 and continuing through the 2021 school year to eligible students.  This benefit is ONLY for students that have been quarantined or in isolation due to COVID for over half of a month or for students that are learning 100% as a virtual student.  Most students in our district will not qualify for this benefit since we have been able to have in-person instruction this school year. 

Please refer to this letter for more information. 

For the 2021 – 2022 School Year, the Johnson County Head Start/Pre K program will be accepting applications online. To register for the upcoming school year, your child will need to be 3 or 4 years old, on or before August 15, 2021. If your child is 4 and you need to register for Laurel Pre K, please register under the Mountain City Site and add in the comments that your child will be attending Laurel Elementary.

National School Counseling Week 2021, “School Counselors: All in for All Students,”sponsored by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), will be celebrated from Feb. 1–5, 2021, to focus public attention on the unique contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems and how students are different as a result of what school counselors do. National School Counseling Week highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career. 

The special week honoring school counselors provides recognition for school counselors who “implement comprehensive school counseling programs, a vital part of the educational process for all students as they meet the challenges of the 21st century.

“School counselors work with all students to remove barriers to learning by addressing students’ academic concerns, post-secondary options and social/emotional skills,” said Jill Cook, ASCA executive director. “School counseling programs help to increase student achievement and provide a much-needed resource for students, parents,teachers and administrators. School counselors are integral to student success.”

JCHS is very fortunate to have two great school counselors in Ms. Priscilla Davis and Ms. Amanda Mullins.  We appreciate everything they do for our school community on a daily basis.  You may learn more about Ms. Davis and Ms. Mullins HERE.  Please take a moment to recognize our school counselors by sending them a word of encouragement or showing them a random act of kindness.

In partnership with ETSU Rural Track Medical Students and Jacob McGlamery the school based mental health clinician, we are pleased to present you with a "Coping Skills Resource Guide."  This is a guide for parents, teachers and students and contains several useful resources to help maintain good mental health especially during these trying times. Please share this with students and parents as you see fit. This guide was created by the students for their research project and a survey will be sent out later this year to gauge how effective these resources are for you. If you have any questions or comments please let me know. Thank you and have a great day!
