It's that time of year again!
Dear Jamison Community,
I hope you have been enjoying your summer. Whether it has been spent vacationing, traveling to athletic events, reading, or simply relaxing, my hope is that you and your family have enjoyed some time away from school. I can honestly state that I've certainly enjoyed my summer with my wife and kids; however, I am excited about the upcoming school year and the energy this new "season" brings. School will be starting in just a few short days...please read the important information below.

100% JET
I'm proud to announce for the 5th consecutive year, Jamison will not participate in an "Active" Fundraiser beyond 100% JET. We will continue to have "passive fundraising" opportunities. My goal has always been to raise enough money to support our H.S.A budget. This budget serves the students above and beyond the district expectations.
100% JET information will be available at Meet-N-Greet, Back To School Nights, our website, and will also be sent home via the Wednesday Folder. Please feel free to make a donation.

PSSA Results
Unofficial state test results (PSSA scores) are being delivered to the building. The results will be given to families in September.
If results stay consistent, Central Bucks schools will still be well represented locally and across the state.

Paperwork, paperwork, and MORE paperwork!
Parents,
The students might not be coming home with homework on the first day of school but you certainly have some! Please be mindful of the important paperwork being sent home during the first week of school. Additionally, like last year, I've eliminated many of the papers so the school could be more "eco-friendly." You'll be able to access the paperwork via our website.

- Central Bucks School District's policies regarding Threats and Weapons

New Car Dismissal Procedure
For the continued safety of our students and to facilitate the expediency of car pickup, the following is the new procedure for car dismissal to be used every day:
Each family will be given a card stock placard via the Wednesday Folder. Please write the family’s last name(s) in LARGE letters with black marker, so that it is visible from a distance.
Keep the placard in your glove compartment.
Upon arrival to car pick-up, place the placard in your front passenger SIDE window, with the family name facing outside. It should sit nicely in the window frame. Please do not place it on the dash board, it is difficult to see.
If someone other than yourself will be picking up your child occasionally, you may request additional placards for them at car pick-up. If there is a change of transportation for a student who does not normally utilize car dismissal, please call the office so the teachers on car dismissal duty can be notified of the change.
