- Double Good Schoolwide Fundraiser – Student & Family Participation
- We are asking each student/family to participate by creating a pop-up shop. Once the pop-up shop is created, send the link out to people you know via email, text, or post on your social media. The purchaser will place their order online and the company will deliver the popcorn to them. This fundraiser requires very little effort on your part!
- Double Good website www.doublegood.com OR download the app to your phone.
- The code to join TJE’s fundraiser is: POMNSV
- Incentives for students

A Message From Nurse Spence
As we start getting into the heart of the winter months COVID, Flu, and Strep cases are on the rise. Please be sure to keep your student’s home if they have signs and symptoms of illness such as fever (100.0) or greater, vomiting or diarrhea, and excessive coughing.
We now have telehealth services in the school clinic. You can register now (see flyer) and then if your student comes to the clinic we can call and let parents know that we recommend a telehealth visit.
Parents are included in the video chat with the Provider, and we have the ability to do Flu, Strep, and COVID tests right here at school. Any antibiotics, or other prescriptions, can be called into the pharmacy of your choice. This eliminates the need for parents to take more time off work to see a physician and sit in crowded waiting rooms waiting for an appointment. The telehealth appointments are immediate and usually only a 5 min wait or less. The cost for students on Medicaid is free, private insurance is your primary doctor co pay fee, uninsured is $50.
The parents that have used the service already have been very happy with the results and outcomes. Sign up now and be ready when you need it! If you have any questions feel free to call the school clinic 817-299-6950.
Stay Healthy,
Nurse Spence

Party invitations will only be passed out to the whole class or for girl/boy specific parties. Our goal is to never make students feel excluded. This is our practice at Thelma Jones. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out to Mrs. Rhines.
You may send treat bags for your student's birthday. Treat bags will be passed out at the end of the day and sent home with students. Ideas for treat bags include: stickers, pencils, small party favors, and wrapped candy. You may not bring food for your student's birthday. Things like cupcakes and cookies will not be accepted.
When having lunch with your student, please be mindful that you may only eat with your student in the designated area. I know it's nice to meet your child's friends, but we are not allowed to put other students in your care without parent permission. Once lunch is over, you will need to checkout in the front. No visitors on the playground.
