The new school year is quickly approaching and I am excited to spend my 2nd year with the JME Community. There have been some changes, but not much! Students will continue to experience routine and familiarity. I am excited to share that we will have 1 of the MEIPP classes on our campus this coming year! MEIPP will have a different schedule, but we look forward to welcoming the program to our campus. The bell schedule has changed for TK/Kinder but has remained the same for 1st-5th (please see schedule below). Our TK/Kinder will have a Meet and Greet event on Monday, August 8th from 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM.
Please be sure to complete your residency verification in the parent portal. Residency Verifications must be complete before accessing teacher assignments. Please see the access buttons below.
Reminder about CAASPP testing results: A letter was sent to families from the district regarding CAASPP testing results access. Please see the button below for a copy of the letter.
We are excited to welcome all of our Timberwolves back to school! Remember to start practicing your school day routines in preparation for the start of school. Set a designated time to wake up, get ready, and have a healthy breakfast. We are looking forward to seeing you soon!
