Jesse Boyd Elementary School ~~~ April 16, 2019
Greetings from Dr. Rose
Greetings from Jesse Boyd where we inspire and equip your student to become a JBE Superstar this year in a Jesse Boyd production. It is hard to believe that we have just a little over one month of school left in the 2018-2019 school year. While I know many times our minds switch to summer plans and lazy days, please know that we will continue to focus on high quality, engaging learning opportunities for our students. We use the hashtag #MayMatters. Because it does and we will work very hard in the month of April and May ensuring that our students are given every opportunity to be as successful as they can be this school year.
Along the way, we do have many events planned for May. It is important that you keep up with your teacher's newsletters, the principal's page, our school Facebook page, and any school wide phone calls.
Mamma Mia!
Each year Spartanburg School District 7 presents a musical. During these performances our students in elementary school are offered the opportunity to perform. Please see the flyer below for information.
Changes for Next Year
While we are concentrating on finishing 2018-2019 strong, we do want to make you aware of a change that will happen next year. The crosswalk that is now located just past JBE, will be relocated. The cross walk area, next year, will be located closer to where our cars turn into JBE. This change will enable two officers to be in the same location and increase the safety of our students.
City Football
Each year the City of Spartanburg and Spartanburg School District 7 collaborate to offer football to our students. Information is below for next year's sign ups.
Beta Club Annual Drive
Please consider donating to the Beta Club's annual school supply drive. These supplies will be given to students with need at the beginning of next school year.
State Testing
One of the necessary items we must complete each school year is the state mandated testing called SC Ready and SC PASS. These tests are given to students in 3rd through 8th grade. Below is the schedule for our SCPASS and SCReady tests this year.
Mother-Son Event
This annual event is always a fun one for our students. Due to the SRHS's
15th Annual Spartanburg Criterium, we have changed the date of our mother-son event from what was listed on our yearly calendar.
Bruster's at Lunch
For your student to enjoy Bruster's at lunch, payment will need to be made to your child's teacher by Wednesday, April 24th.
Teacher Appreciation Week
Please sign up to help with duty free lunch for Teacher Appreciation.
From Nurse Cummings
Due to the high pollen count this time of year, many students are suffering from seasonal allergies. Please remember to consistently give your child allergy medicine--such as Zyrtec, Allegra, Claritin (not Benadryl due to drowsiness). Many students are experiencing red, itching, burning eyes when they go outside for recess
Picture Orders
Last week your student received their proof from our spring pictures. Any picture orders are due back to JBE by Friday, April 19th.
