I am happy to share that Havana Schools will be moving to the Community Eligibility Program for next school year. The National School Food Service reimbursement program traditionally required families to verify income to determine if meals were free, reduced or paid. The Community Eligibility Program bases reimbursement on the demographics of the entire community and eliminates the individual family eligibility. This change will make 1 reimbursable breakfast and 1 reimbursable lunch at no cost to all students for the coming year regardless of family income. Money will only need to be deposited to purchase extra food items that exceed the standard breakfast or lunch offering going forward. This change will not affect any prior account balances from prior years and only apply to meals going forward. We are excited about this change and the benefit it will be to all families.
New "ROOMS" communication feature coming to the Havana #126 district app very soon. Parents/guardians and students will soon be able to go on the district app and see their students' courses, assignments, and message teachers right from their phone. Parents and Guardians will be getting an email next week prompting them to create a password to activate their new Chat account. This new communication feature will replace dojo and other platforms that are currently being used to communicate. The district app will be a one stop shop for everything Havana #126. So, download the Havana Ducks app today, turn on notifications and be on the lookout for your email invite early next week.
Junior High Picture retakes are this Wednesday morning, 10/19. If your child missed our first picture day or you would like to retake their picture, they will have the opportunity on Wednesday.

Hello HJH parents and guardians,
Today, 5/26, is our last full day of school. All students will turn in their Chromebooks and chargers by the end of today, if they have not done so already.
Any damage to a chromebook or a charger, could result in a fee that will be applied to your students' account. If they have misplaced or lost a charger, that cost is $45.
Tomorrow, Friday 5/27, is our Report Card day. Students are NOT required to come to school tomorrow. If they come to pick up their report card, they can leave right after that, as long as everything is turned in (laptop and charger). If they have to ride a bus to school and home, they can stay at school, but they will be put to work helping move our classrooms to the gym to prepare for our big summer flooring project here at HJH. If your student does not attend tomorrow, you will be able to view their report card in Alma and we will also email cards to parent accounts.
We know this year (and the past few years), has been very trying for everyone, but we appreciate all your support and help getting through some tough times. Without your patience and understanding, the last few years would have been even more difficult, so THANK YOU PARENTS AND GUARDIANS!!!
Registration for the 2022-23 school year will take place on Wednesday, August 3rd, here at the JH, from 9am-1pm, and 2:30-5:30pm. We hope to see you in August..have a fantastic summer! Go Ducks!
