Our buildings were busy awarding certificates, capes and sharing lots of THANKS for the SUPER men and women who work tirelessly to clean and maintain the many buildings that comprise JCPS metropolis. When you see any of these masked marvels out and about, be sure to give them your appreciation as well! #JCStrongerTogether#CustodialWorkersRecognitionDay

October is National Principals Month
National Principals Month recognizes the essential role our district's principals play in making a school great and is often marked by national and state resolutions supporting the event, as well as acknowledgements from top government officials. However, the most important National Principals Month celebrations are the ones that take place in schools and communities across the country and most especially right here at Jefferson City Public Schools!
Stay tuned as we roll out a public relations appreciation campaign to #ThankAJCPrincipal throughout the month. We invite you to share a photo or a video letting us know why you love your principal.
THANK YOU, JCPS PRINCIPALS!!
