A Message from Mrs. Hankins
JSE Families and Friends,
Winter sure is letting us know it's here. As we navigate the ups and downs of NW Indiana winter, please note that we will be sending Chromebooks home in the event of a virtual learning day. This does not necessarily mean we will have a called day. Please also keep in mind that these Chromebooks are school tools. They need to come back charged and ready to go for the next day at school. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility during these days.
Today: after school activities are cancelled, including KidStop.
Stay safe and warm tonight and over the week. Please be sure your information is updated and you are receiving our emails, texts, and notifications.
You are loved at JSE,
Mrs. Hankins
Updating Harmony Demographic Information
Harmony Updates
We need your help! Please check in your Harmony demographic information that we have phone numbers and emails for all guardians listed. We need this information as they roll over and process accounts. As an incentive, Mrs. Minton and Mrs. Hankins will give each student of families that are updated a prize for helping us update!
To do this:
1. Log into your Harmony account. You can find Family Access here.
2. Scroll down to update demographic information.
3. Click the link and update guardian info. Make sure your cell phone number, call carrier, and email are correct.
4. Once submitted this will notify Mrs. Minton and she will send your prize with your child.
Thank you for your assistance with this matter!

Meet the Staff at JSE
Mrs. Roberson
Mrs. Roberson is one of our fifth grade teachers here at JSE. She joined us last year on staff, and we are so glad to have her. She brings love and creativity to her lessons, partners with kindergarten as fifth grade buddies, and embraces the writing and progress of fifth grade. We are so glad to have her on our crew at JSE!
Inclement Weather Protocol (repeat)
If we need to close school we can have a "traditional" snow day and have the day off. These would result in us making up the day in one of our snow days in February.
We are allowed three asynchronous days, or e-learning without the teacher supporting, where students do the work assigned to them on their chromebooks or packets. We use one of these for elementary conferences each year. This counts as a day of school.
Next, we are allowed as many synchronous days as needed. These days we will be online but with teacher support. The elementary schedule is posted below. This counts as a day of school.
As weather gets sketchy, we may be sending Chromebooks back and forth in the event of a possible closure. This does not mean we will certainly have a virtual day, but just preparation.
If you ever have any questions, please reach out to the office or your child's teacher.
