Message from Ms. Thompson
We hope you are soaking up the summer days. We have enjoyed seeing Bear Cubs and their families during our Popsicles with the Principals Events. You have a few more opportunities to interact with staff members and students.
Popsicles with the Principals Dates:
Kinlaw Park on Thursday, July 14th from 6:00-7:00
High Bridge Park on Wednesday, July 20th from 5:30-6:30
Classroom Teacher Introduction letters were mailed on Monday, July 11th. We hope that you receive those quickly. Some staff members may connect with you on Dojo prior to the start of the school year. We have one 3rd grade classroom position that we are working to fill, so we will send the introduction letter as soon as the new teacher is hired and has his/her Jessamine County email.
As August approaches, we will share further details about Back to School Open House and the possibility of walking your student to class the first few days of school. We hope to invite visitors and volunteers back into the building this school year, but will have heightened safety protocols regarding the check in process. As soon as we learn more about those expectations from the district level, we will communicate with families.
Please make sure you read more about our Transportation Form Updates. We are making some minor changes to ensure safety and efficiency during the arrival and dismissal process. We are asking that every student have a transportation form on file for the 2022-2023 school year. We will have a transportation booth at Open House on August 8th to gain additional information about bus stops and times as well.
Please continue reading this month's edition of the Bear Cub Bulletin to learn more about family events and upcoming opportunities to connect with our school and community.
Our office ours this summer will be Monday-Friday 9:00-1:00. If you need to set up an appointment, you can call us at (859) 858-3134 or you can email me and I will make sure someone is in the office to support you.
Email: monica.thompson@jessamine.kyschools.us
We look forward to seeing you soon!
