JMS Families,

Friday of last week marked the completion of our 21st week of school. Throughout that time, classroom teachers have provided initial instruction on approximately 75% of their scope and sequence. If your child has missed several days of instruction this year, please reach out to Team Leaders to create a schedule for accelerated instruction. It can be as simple as 1-2 days per week for 30 minutes.
