Kindergarten through 5th grade students - purchase your Yearbook today! Yearbooks are on sale now through April 8th for $25 each.

Only a very limited number of extra books will be ordered and sold the last week of school for an extra fee. So buy now and save! Each purchase helps the HSA provide yearbooks to all 6th grade students as a parting gift!
*6th grade students do not need to purchase a yearbook as Jamison and the HSA provides these free of cost to all 6th grade students.
6th Grade Memory Pictures Needed
6th Grade Parents,
We are working hard to make the yearbook special for the students of Jamison! Since 6th grade is so special, we are aiming to dedicate portions of the yearbook that are just for them. In order to do so, we are requesting pictures to be submitted to make memory pages for the 6th grade students.
Please add your past school years- school based photos of your 6th grade student and their friends from their time at Jamison! We want to showcase friends/groups throughout their years at Jamison. These can be pictures from K-6. (Maybe a fun Halloween group photo from 2nd grade or a group class trip from 4th grade). Pictures should be from school events and school functions. They can be photos taken from cell phones or a regular camera.
If interested, please submit your photos by March 4, 2022.
Please follow the link below to add your photos:

(If prompted, user ID is: 419455951)
The yearbook staff will review all photos and will determine final yearbook content. We cannot guarantee that all submissions will be used for the yearbook.
Thank you for helping us to make a great yearbook for the students!

Kiss-N-Drop
Please take the time to read the information below that I sent out last week about our morning car rider drop off. For some reason, we still have some community members not abiding by our guidelines. Thank you for helping us keep your kids safe.
Dear Parents and Guardians that utilize “Kiss-N-Drop”,
I’m reaching out to all of you as I continue to observe, and receive feedback, about some specific safety concerns during morning arrival. PLEASE take the time to read the bulleted points below to ensure the SAFETY of ALL children.
- Students may be dropped off from 8:15AM to 8:35AM. Please do not drop your child off prior to 8:15AM. Dropping your child off prior to 8:15AM is a safety concern. There isn’t adult supervision during this timeframe. Thank you for being considerate of this policy.
- Please travel at a SAFE speed in the parking lot. With many parked cars, children can come out of “nowhere” and be in danger.
- Stay behind the car in front of you…Do not pull around a car in front of you unless directed to do so.
- Please refrain from being on your cell phone. Simply put, conversations during morning arrival can distract you from making appropriate decisions.
- Your children should exit the car from the passenger side. If children exit from the driver side, they are putting themselves at risk from traffic behind your vehicle.
- Children should only exit your vehicle after the crosswalk.
- As you leave Jamison, please STOP at the stop sign and allow buses the right of way.
We are looking for volunteers to assist with Kiss-N-Drop. If interested, please contact our Home and School Association (Tara Schmucker taraschmucker@gmail.com).
As always, THANK YOU for your support.
Mr. Croyle
Jet Ticket Winners
When students are “caught being good”, a Jamison staff member can recognize their behavior by giving them a JET Ticket. The student must write his/her name on the ticket and circle the appropriate character trait (Respect / Responsibility / Safe Community / Sportsmanship). Students place the JET Tickets in the Ticket Box located outside of the Main Office. Then, three students from grades K-3 and three students from grades 4-6 are randomly drawn at our monthly assembly and are given Jet T-Shirts.
January’s Winners:
· Kylie Lelis
· Paul Lizzi
· Michael Patrone
· Dua Sejdiu
· Brynn Yoos
· Ryan Zhai
