Jane Boyd Notes....
November 2018
· November 20th 2017- Thanksgiving dinner at 4:30pm
· November 21st- No Achievement Academy
· November 22nd -23rd 2017- Thanksgiving breaks- No school/No program.
Dear Parents/Guardians
We would like to wish all of our Jane Boyd families a very happy fall. We have so much to be thankful for as the Thanksgiving holiday approaches. Our annual thanksgiving dinner will be held on November 20, 2018 at 4:30pm. We encourage parents to pick their child (ren) up after 5:30 pm so they can enjoy thanksgiving dinner with their Jane Boyd friends. If any parents would like to attend our thanksgiving dinner we ask that you sign up in advance.
Jane Boyd Thanksgiving Information:
This year we will combine students from both locations at our Johnson Steam Academy Site for thanksgiving dinner. Students who ride the bus from Johnson to the Community House will not ride the bus on this date. Instead, they will remain at Johnson and their regular Community House teachers will have them in group there. Students who are picked up from Grant Wood and Arthur Elementary in the Jane Boyd vans, will be dropped off at Johnson with their regular Community House staff, so they can be also be part of the thanksgiving celebration. This is a special event/field trip so all kids from the Community House site will need to have signed permission slips turned into Megan Brown no later than November 16th. Permission slips will be available at the reception desk at the Community House.
We are in need of volunteers to help serve dinner, clean up and chaperone. If you would like to volunteer please text Megan Brown at (847) 530-1983.
