TJHS Daily Announcements -- Friday, May 22nd -- Cycle 28, Day 2 -- https://aptg.co/n4JbrR -- REMEMBER that there will be NO SCHOOL this coming Monday, May 25th for the Memorial Day Holiday.
Parents/Guardians: Free sports physicals are being offered for current students in grades 6-8 who will be playing a sport during the 2026-2027 school year at Tuscarora Junior High School on Friday, May 22, 2026. If you wish to have your child receive a sports physical please complete the PIAA sports packet (with the exception of Section 6) and return it to school as soon as possible. Packets are located in the school library. If you wish to have the PIAA sports physical completed by a private physician, you may do so. Once Section 6 of the sports packet is completed, it should be returned to the school prior to the start of the sport. Any sports physical that is completed after May 1, 2026 will meet the requirements for students to participate in fall, winter, or spring sports next school year. Feel free to contact the athletic director (Travis Quici, tquici@jcsdk12.org) or the school nurse (Bayana Zimmerman, bzimmerman@jcsdk12.org) if you have any questions.
The Juniata County School District Wellness Committee will meet on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. in the Juniata Senior High School cafeteria.
The Wellness Committee is to be comprised of, but not necessarily limited to, at least one School Board member, one district administrator, a district food service representative, a student, a parent/guardian, a school health professional, a physical education teacher and a member of the public. Other members may include: teachers, school counselors, coaches, support staff, dieticians, representatives of local or county agencies, representatives of community organizations, food vendors, and other individuals chosen by the district. A goal is that committee membership will include representatives from each school building and reflect the diversity of the community.
The Wellness Committee serves as an advisory committee regarding student health issues and is responsible for developing, implementing, reviewing and updating a school wellness policy; reviews and considers evidence-based strategies and techniques in establishing goals for nutrition education and promotion, physical activity and other school-based activities that promote student wellness; and reviews local assessment to plan for future policy revisions and program changes.
Specifically, at the May 13 meeting, the committee will be seeking input from students in regard to cafeteria menu selections.
