Thurston County COVID numbers continue to rise and we are keeping in close contact with county health officials.

WHAT HAPPENS IF SCHOOLS CLOSE AGAIN?
JPII has established communications procedures for any emergent event causing school delay or closure. In the event of closure or delay, the information will be posted to:

1. The JPII website homepage (displayed as a banner at the top)
2. Parent and student email accounts
3. Schoology
4. The JPII Facebook page, and
5. FlashAlert Newswire for release to local media outlets

We are also adding a COVID update section to the homepage for detailed information about the School’s COVID response.
