This year, teachers will meet with small groups of families on the evenings of August 30 and 31. Please use the link below to sign up for a time. Slots are 40 minutes long, but families do not have to stay the whole time. Teachers will have a short presentation prepared to provide information on schedules, communication, grade level work and more. The rest of the time slot is provided to ask questions of the classroom teacher, stop in to talk to our intervention and specials teachers, visit the office for forms, and to explore the school.
If you have any questions or need assistance signing up for conferences please call the school office. 320-251-8651 ext. 3.
Kindergarten families!
We are so excited that you'll have a young learner with us this year. Please be on the lookout for this sign to pop up at your home on August 19. Tag us on social media for any posts. Signs can be returned anytime in September or send us a message, and we'll pick it up!

Rocori Elementary Families,
Elementary school supplies for the upcoming 2022-2023 school year will once again be mostly supplied by the school, but this year we are asking for a $10 supply fee per student to help offset some of the costs. Please follow the directions below to make your payment or you can stop in at any of the elementary offices to make a payment. If you would like to make an additional donation for your school, it would be greatly appreciated and please refer to your child's school webpage for any additional information!
We are looking forward to seeing everyone soon!
Sincerely,
Sam Court, JCE Principal
Mary Holmberg, Richmond Elementary Principal
Keri Johnson, Cold Spring Elementary Principal

Reading Tutor and Math Tutor Wanted for 2021-22 School Year
Make a difference in your community and join our team as a reading tutor. JCE is looking for a math tutor to give their time and talent to help our kids become successful readers and learners.
Math tutors serve during the school day working with small groups of students (grades 4-8) who need extra help building their math skills.
No matter if you’re a recent grad, career changer, stay-at-home parent or retiree, you can make a great tutor! No experience? No problem. Minnesota Reading and Math Corps provides comprehensive training in strategies proven to help students learn, so tutors are well equipped to help students grow.
Perks as A Tutor
• Receive a stipend every two weeks
• Earn up to $4,300 for college tuition or student loans. Tutors 55 and older may gift the award to their child, grandchild, stepchild or foster child.
• Free health insurance and child care assistance for those who qualify

Spartan SPOT
Spartan SPOT provides both before and after school care, as well as care for non-school days.
If you have any questions, please call the Community Education office at 320-685-8631.
Students in households that meet the free or reduced price meal income guidelines will generate compensatory revenue for their school. Schools must use compensatory revenue to meet the needs of students who are behind their peers, such as remedial instruction, instructional materials including digital learning and technology, bilingual programs and additional teachers and teacher aides. These applications may also make teachers in your school eligible for the federal Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program if they have outstanding college loans. However, the household must complete and return the forms, or complete the online form, no later than December 15 so the school can calculate eligibility and report to MDE.
