Principal's Message
Greetings from the Principal's Office
Mighty growth has been going on this week at Jeremiah Gray Kindergarten Academy!
Our little mathematicians have been working on adding and creating numbers stories. Students used dominoes to add dots together and write an equation.
Our students have also worked hard on their reading skills in book clubs. They practiced identifying the character and recalling key details in the story.
Today ends the grading period. Teachers are putting grades into the grade book, and reports cards will be available online Wednesday, March 14th. You can access those in Skyward, under the "Portfolio" tab. If you are unable to access this and would like a copy printed out and sent home, please let your teacher know.
Each Friday, as we watch our Little Giants load the buses or climb into cars we reflect on the huge amount of growth we see each week. Our students work so hard, and are making great gains. Thanks for all you do for helping support your child's education!
Love,
Mrs. Hansell

Students and staff are encouraged to wear jeans and a red shirt!
At JGKA we are little, but VERY MIGHTY!
Our Citizens of the Month
Being good all day, every day can be hard! When you demonstrate good behavior all day, every day, for an entire MONTH, you deserve to be recognized! We are proud of our Little Giants that earned Citizen of the Month for February.
When asked what it takes to achieve this, they had the following advice:
"Be kind to others."
"Be patient."
"Do your work."
"Listen to your teachers."
"Work hard!"
What great advice from our kindergartners!
