We're just FIVE days from the first day of school! Can you believe it?! Be sure to check the Johnston County Public Schools mobile app off of your school supplies list! Parents, teachers, and students will use the mobile app for our two-way communication tool this school year! Download it in the Apple or Google Play store today so you're ready for the first day!
All students enrolled in a qualifying Johnston County Public School (with the exception of 5 non-qualifying schools) will receive a healthy Breakfast and lunch at no cost to the household this upcoming school year through the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP).
Households of students that attend a qualifying CEP school will no longer need to submit a Free and Reduced Meal Benefit Application for the upcoming school year. Students that attend a non-qualifying school will still have the opportunity to submit a meal benefits application in order to qualify for free, reduced, or paid eligibility status. Applications for the 2023-2024 school year will be accepted starting July 10, 2023.

Our families seemed to like the one-stop-shop format for Orientation Information on our website - so we thought we'd make school supply lists just as convenient! Supply lists for our elementary and middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year are available now at: www.johnston.k12.nc.us/schoolsupplies
We hope this makes you getting ready for the first day of school - August 28th - a little bit easier!

Good Evening JCPS Families,
We hope you will join us at one of our Summer Information Fairs, happening this Monday and Tuesday.
We’re hosting a Summer Information Fair at eight of our schools on July 31 and August 1st. We invite families to attend the information fair in their student’s feeder pattern.
The Information Fair will provide parents an opportunity to request, verify, and ensure your student has bus transportation and receive meal service information prior to the opening of school. While students won’t receive their bus number at the Information Fair, attending and signing up for transportation guarantees that the student will have transportation on the first day of school. Bus information is expected to be shared at Orientation. If your student does not ride a bus, back to school information will be provided at Orientation.
We’ll also have staff on hand for families who need assistance with enrolling their student for the upcoming school year.
The Summer Information Fair will be held from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM on Monday, July 31st at North Johnston Middle, Cleveland High, Corinth Holders High, and South Johnston High.
We will hold Information Fairs the following day, Tuesday, August 1st from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Clayton Middle, Smithfield-Selma High, Princeton High, and West Johnston High schools.
You can find more information by visiting the home page of our website. We hope to see you there!

We're so excited to introduce our new and improved mobile app to our JCPS community! We've been hard at work to overhaul our mobile app and offer our users an even better experience. We're offering a NEW app in the Apple and Google Play store - that our parents and students alike will want to download before the start of the school year!
We'll use our mobile app to send you important information about your school, share athletic schedules, and post our lunch menus every day!
The most important feature: our mobile app is going to house our new two-way communication tool for students, teachers, and parents. It's called Rooms - and you're going to love it! Download the JCPS mobile app today so you're ahead of the game!
Greetings North Johnston Middle Students, Parents, and Families,
I hope each one of you is having a great summer break and enjoying your time away from school to rest, relax, and recharge as we prepare for an exciting 2023-2024 school year!
As we are scheduling for enhancement classes for the upcoming school year, we noticed that we still have some students who have not selected their enhancement class preferences.
Please visit our North Johnston Middle website and locate the registration links on one of the large scrolling banners to select classes. Please select classes on or by Friday, July 21st. If any student has already selected his or her classes, please disregard this final request. If a student is not certain, please feel free to complete the registration form again. Any student who wishes to participate in Band or Chorus should indicate that as a first or second choice. We look forward to seeing everyone soon.
Please mark your calendar in advance for our Back to School Orientation, which is scheduled for Thursday, August 24th. More details will be shared in advance. We hope all of our Jaguar community is having a happy, healthy, and safe summer. Heather P. Anders, Principal

For kids who rely on school meals, summer can be the hungriest time of year, and hunger has short- and long-term consequences for a child’s health, education and well-being. Making sure kids and teens have access to nutritious summer meals is especially important this summer.
The Summer Meals program is funded by the USDA and run by school districts and local organizations, and sites can be found throughout the community. We’re always happy to see you at various locations throughout Johnston County, but there may be more convenient locations closer to you. Families can text “FOOD” or “COMIDA” to 304-304 and type in a zip code to find nearby summer meals sites, along with operating days and times. No application, registration or proof of residency or citizenship is required at sites.
