Message from the Principal

Welcome to our new website!

Extending a special welcome to all of the new families joining us at JHS 292 this year and welcoming back all of our returning families as well! I am honored to be your principal. As a school, we seek to work collectively as a learning community to provide an environment where our students can DREAM BEYOND THEIR ZIP CODE. My vision, as the principal, is to provide students an environment where learning takes place beyond the traditional classroom.

About Us

At JHS 292 we believe that seeing each student as an individual allows the adults in the building to tailor their instruction to scholars’ needs. In turn, those actions provide students with a nurturing environment and school community that is a caring, warm, positive, and exciting place to grow and thrive.

Mission Statement

Welcome to our school! We believe that parent participation is key to student success; our new website is designed to provide parents with all the information they need to be active participants in their student’s education. You will find that the site works just as well on mobile devices as it does on a desktop so you can find information on the go.

Snow Day Announcement – Monday, February 23, 2026

Dear Families,

Monday, February 23, 2026 has been declared a snow day!

To our 292 families, please stay safe, stay warm, and enjoy the day. There will be no virtual learning and no remote sessions.

We will share further updates regarding school on Tuesday as soon as they are available.

Stay safe and enjoy the snow!

New Cell Phone & Electronic Device Policy

Starting in the 2025-26 school year, personal internet-enabled devices—like smartphones, tablets, and smart watches—cannot be used during the school day, as required by state law.

This change helps reduce distractions and encourages deeper participation in class, so students can stay engaged from bell to bell.

Schools must provide direct contact information for school staff, so parents can contact their child in case of an emergency.

Students can use their devices when traveling to and from school, but they must have them turned off and stored during the school day.
