All adult students will be assigned a completion coach to help them once they get here, if they have questions, if they don't know what to do or where to go. We're working on partnerships with childcare, local childcare agencies to give our students discounted opportunities for child care if that is something they may need."

The school says they will have multiple more of these informational events in the coming weeks and months and encourage anyone who may be considering going back to school to reach out to them 731 425 2601 or visit their website at www.JSCC.edu
