Principal's Message
Greetings from the Principal's Office
It has been a wonderful week of learning at JGKA!
Students have been learning about 3 dimensional shapes in Math. Students enjoyed comparing 3-D shapes to 2 dimensional shapes.
Students have been working on writing. Their sentences are getting longer as students become masters at sounding words out!
I'm MOST proud of our student behavior. We honored 30 students at our first ever Citizen of the Month ceremony today. Students receiving this award were recognized by administrators, teachers, and peers for their hard work and good behavior. Families joined their children at lunch to celebrate their success.
As always, thanks for all YOU do to support your child's educational journey.
Love,
Mrs. Hansell
Six More Weeks of Winter
Students conducted their own experiment and saw their own shadows.
Planning for Cold Weather
All students should come with a coat, hat, and gloves.
Our teachers follow strict guidelines in determining if classes can go outside. They use these guidelines and their good judgement to make the best decisions for our students. As always, the safety of our children is our number one priority.
Important Announcement Regarding Make-Up Day

NEW TIER BUS SCHEDULE FOR 2018-2019
2018 Choice Application Information & Changes
The choice application period for the 2018-2019 school year will be open January 29, 2018 through February 23, 2018. Application timelines were altered this year in order to confirm transportation tiers for the 2018-2019 school year so that parents can make informed decisions. Another important change for the 2018-2019, is the offering of a very limited choice application pilot (20 spots) for incoming Kindergarten students per Kindergarten Academy. This limited choice pilot for Kindergarten will not include transportation. In order to process these incoming Kindergarten limited choice applications, the student must be registered for Kindergarten at their home Kindergarten Academy. Applications and instructions will be available through our website under the “For Parents” tab as well as each elementary school. Please read the instructions and complete the application as directed.
