The new school year is well underway, but like many other school districts, businesses and organizations, we are facing very severe staffing shortages.

27J Schools is appealing to all parents, grandparents, retirees, neighbors and friends to seriously consider stepping into the role of substitute teaching, support staff, bus drivers and nutrition.
We will provide the necessary training. Some positions offer flexible schedules and can be arranged for parents to have time to take chijldren to and from school while still working a shift. Several employee categories provide FREE healthcare, life and dental insurance coverage, plus they qualify for retirement benefits.

Just another quick note - you have the option to limit accepting positions only at the schools your student attends. It is truly a win:win. To begin the process, please click the apple.

If you haven't already submitted an application for Free and Reduced-Price School Benefits application, you may want to consider it. Although 27J is providing free breakfast and lunch to each 27J student, each Kindergarten through Fifth Grade student will be assessed a Student Fee, Technology Fee and Licensing Fee totaling $65 per student. Also, if your student rides the bus to and/or from the school, the cost per month per student is $40 with a cap of $80 per month per family. That, too, will begin to appear on your student's fee account. This why we are asking each family to complete and submit an Application for Free and Reduced-Price School Benefits application.

Families who would qualify for the free or reduced lunch will have ALL elementary student fees waived. That is quite a savings, especially if your student rides the bus. To complete the application, please click here. You will need your student(s) Student ID numbers to complete the applicatoin. How do you get their number? Simply sign into the Parent Portal to obtain their numbers. If you have not set up your parent portal, complete this form and we will set up the account for you.

Our Parent-Teacher conferences will take place the first week of October. Report cards will NOT be available at that time since the quarter doesn't close until October 13th. The conference will be a time to discuss your student's progress. Please begin to watch your email for more information from your student's teacher.
