JS- Jr. High Profile Page

Joshua Springs offers a Bible-based curriculum that helps students develop a God-centered view of life by presenting God's Word as the standard for all truth. The curriculum, taught by a qualified Christian faculty, allows parents to provide their children with solid academic instruction that builds upon the Christ-centered teaching that students receive at home and at church.

· Expected School-wide Learning Results (ESLRs)

Using biblical principles, we seek to build up young people in four areas:

academically, spiritually, physically, and socially as outlined in our ESLRs.

· Attendance Policy

Reminder 1: ALL students arriving more than ten minutes late must obtain a Re-Admit Slip from the School Office.

Reminder 2: When a student has four tardies in a class for a semester, he or she will be assigned Detention for the fourth tardy.

Reminder 3: When a student returns from an absence, he or she must obtain a Re-Admit Slip from the office. If a student goes to class without one, he or she will be marked tardy and sent to the office to get one.

Reminder 4: If a student misses more than nine days of a class in a semester, the student will receive an incomplete grade and must repeat the class another year. See the Student Handbook for more information.

Reminder 5: It is the student’s responsibility to obtain missing assignments upon his or her return to class. For absences of three days or more, work may be requested by calling the office at 365-3599.

See the complete Attendance Policy in the School Handbook.

Parents may report an absence by email. Include your name, the student’s name and grade, and the reason for the absence.
