Quarterly Newsletter: Winter 2023
Jimtown Elementary School
As we look forward to the second half of the school year, JES will continue to focus on our main goal: increasing student achievement in reading, writing and math! Our fall testing on student reading levels showed tremendous growth from last year: 71% of students on or above grade level vs. 48% in October of 2021. We are making up the learning loss from the pandemic!
A couple of reminders: School phone 574 522-0379
- Absences: Please remember to call the school OFFICE if your child is going to be absent. While illness is common in our age group, the State holds us accountable for student absences, so please try to get your child here whenever possible and to schedule vacations during our regular breaks.
- End of the day transportation changes: We try to utilize one mode of transportation home, but if there is an emergency change, please notify the OFFICE. Teachers often do not have time to check email/SeeSaw during the school day. Permanent changes to a bus should be handled through our Transportation Dept.: 574 293-8583.
