JBD FRIDAY FOCUS
May 17, 2019 "Embrace the Adventure!"
Home Stretch!
Thank you so much for your help getting your children here on time and in school, ready for the SOLs. The 4th and 5th graders were champs this week on the Language Arts test! On Monday, our third grade babies will be taking their very first SOL ever. Not to worry, the teachers have them ready to go and they are going to be fine. Please keep in mind that all you need to do, is make sure they have a good night's rest and a healthy breakfast. Staying calm, relaxed and confident is key to keep the children feeling ready and not stressed. They will do a great job! :)
Your help is appreciated as well as the continued partnership on behalf of your child with JBD. We are SO fortunate to teach your amazing children.
Enjoy the weekend!
