Johnson County Schools is pleased to announce that we will begin using the Raptor Visitor Management System in all of our schools to strengthen our program of campus safety for students and faculty. Part of keeping students and faculty safe is knowing who is in our buildings at all times, and the Raptor system will allow us to do that. The Raptor system will better allow us to screen visitors, contractors, and volunteers in our schools and provide us with a safer environment for our students and staff.

The School Board voted as last night's meeting to use President's Day, which is February 18th 2019, as an instructional day instead of a holiday for students. This is due to the number of snow days that have already been missed so far in the school year.

Please make sure to update your calendars and plan on your student attending that day.
