For this Graduate Profile Spotlight, we want to highlight Rick, who demonstrates great critical thinking skills among many other valuable work-ready skills.
The JCS team has had crews out driving roads, checking buildings, and working on lots tirelessly. Based on their evaluation, there is no way we can return to school for the next few days. In an effort to allow families as much notice as possible, JCS has decided to go ahead and call NTI for Tuesday or Wednesday. Stay safe and stay warm. Please reach out if you need any assistance.
