A Message from James Sales
Parade Tomorrow!! (Wednesday, May 27)
The James Sales staff is looking forward to seeing our students and families as we parade through our neighborhoods. We will leave the school at 2:00 PM and will finish at about 3:00. One school bus will lead the staff who will drive their cars. If you are at home during that time, we would love to see you waving from your doorstep, yard, or closest sidewalk. Please remember to follow social distancing guidelines while outside your homes. You can refer to the attached document to see where we will be at what time. We can't wait to see your smiling faces!
Yearbooks
Many thanks to our James Sales PTO for purchasing a yearbook for each family this school year! We are excited to see them.
As our yearbook provider is working through challenges related to COVID-19, their manufacturing facilities have experienced high rates of absenteeism as they are putting the health of their employees first. Yearbooks should be shipped out in the next four to six weeks. We will notify you when they are ready for distribution.
Expressions of Appreciation From Some of Our Families
The James Sales staff loved the pictures our James Sales families sent in to say thank you! We miss you all!
Teacher Appreciation 2020
Teachers are still leading online learning for all students through June 19th!
Make sure your students log in to participate with their classmates and teachers.

Library book drop-off.
Do you have James Sales' library books at your home? We would like to have them back at the school for next year! Starting Monday, April 27 we will have a box for collecting your library books outside at James Sales during the 11-12 lunch pick-up time. Please track down those library books and bring them to James Sales when you come for lunch. Thank you for your help in keeping our library shelves full of good books for our students!
Are you moving?
We are making plans for the 2020-2021 school year! Please let us know if your child/children will not return to James Sales Elementary in September. Please send an email to jamessales@fpschools.org listing the names of the students, their current teacher, and if possible, the new school and district or state in which they will enroll.
