9th grade students who wish to obtain a school driver’s permit can follow the following link: https://www.johnstoncsd.org/school-news/school-drivers-permit-process/
This link will guide them to a Google Site. Students will need to log in with their jdragonmail credentials in order to watch a video and complete a quiz. The video contains the information that was presented at permit meetings in the past and will now take the place of those meetings. One parent will need to watch the video and note that completion on the quiz. As usual, the only students eligible are 9th graders who have completed driver’s education and have had their learner’s permit for at least six months. After the quiz has been completed, students can pick up their signed Department of Transportation form in the JMS Front Office. Students will need a parking tag to park on school grounds during the school year. Parking tags are available for $20 when students pick up their DOT form. Please make sure you have your license plate number with you at the time of purchase.
Any 8th or 9th grader interested in participating in MathCounts, please fill out the following form:

We are wanting to make sure everyone is getting onto their Zoom classes so you are not counted absent. Make sure you are checking your email for information but you also need to sign into Moodle which is your same login as Infinite Campus and locate your course according to your schedule.
If it was math you would click on math depending on 8th grade or 9th grade and then locate your math teacher and click on that teacher. If you have never logged into their Moodle page you will need their enrollment key so be sure to email your teacher for that.
Once in their Moodle page you will find links and assignment information. Please reach out to your teacher or the front office if you need additional assistance.
Attention Johnston Women’s Golfers. Please fill out the following form to communicate your intentions for JHS Spring Women’s Golf 2021 (students must fill out the form). JHS Spring Women’s Golf is for current 9th-12th graders. However, if numbers allow, current 7th- 8th graders may be allowed to join the team for practices and to gain experience. If you have any questions, please reach out to Coach Hattel at chattel@johnston.k12.ia.us.
