DEAN OF STUDENTS SPOTLIGHT!
It’s National Assistant Principals Week, and we are using this opportunity to spotlight Mrs. Kadie Benz, Jersey Community High School Dean of Students!
What was your favorite subject when you were in school?
I feel like I should say math because that is what I taught for so many years, but I don't know that I really had a favorite subject in high school, but I definitely had favorite teachers - including Mr. Roth!
What’s something about you that students might be surprised to learn?
I can officially say that I attended Duke University to study math. (It was technically only for a week, but it was an honor to be selected for the program.)
What’s your go-to snack or drink during the school day?
Diet Soda or flavored water (current favorite flavor is Mermaid Water) and whatever is in my lunchbox (but I would definitely prefer to snack out of the candy bowl in my office).
If you could give one piece of advice to students, what would it be?
CHOOSE KINDNESS. Be kind to others. Be kind to yourself.
What’s your favorite part of being an assistant principal?
I enjoy helping people. Whether it's teachers, students, parents, or subs, I always work my hardest to give them my best every day.
Thanks, Mrs. Benz, for being a wonderful leader and mentor to your Panthers!

This Week in Jersey Activities
Jersey CUSD No. 100 extends our sincere thanks to the Jerseyville Police Department, Jersey County Sheriff’s Office, Jerseyville Fire Department, Jersey Community Hospital EMS and Emergency Room providers, our dedicated staff, and our student actors for their time, professionalism, and collaboration during the simulated emergency drill on our April 2nd Professional Development Day.
While the primary goal was to test our local emergency response systems, our school district gained valuable insights that will help us continue to strengthen our practices and enhance the safety of our entire school community. We are grateful for your partnership and commitment to keeping our schools safe.

💙 Today is World Autism Awareness Day 💙
This year’s theme, “Autism and Humanity”, reminds us of a simple but powerful truth: Every Life Has Value.
This message reminds us of the importance of dignity, inclusion, and respect for individuals on the autism spectrum. Every person brings unique strengths, perspectives, and contributions that enrich our schools and our community.
Let’s continue to build a community where everyone feels seen, respected, and supported—today and every day. 💙
