JBD FOCUS NEWSLETTER

Parents should be PROUD!
Dear Families of Amazing JBD Children,
Between the rain and testing, the children have really been put to the test, but I have to tell you, they are amazing. Even though we are coming down to the wire, teaching and learning is still going on. We believe every minute of every day counts for every child. Please think twice before allowing children to be absent, arrive late, or leave early. The last 15 days count as much as the first 15 days and all the rest in between!
Parents of fifth grade children-Mark your CALENDARS-Big Events Ahead!
JUNE 14-The BEACH BASH is June 14-Permission slip required! (Also-there are 'no dates' in elementary school-we are all friends) All fifth graders and ONLY FIFTH graders are welcome. Permission slip is attached.
JUNE 15-Skating Party-The school is covering admission for the skating party! We are happy to do that. However, all fifth grade students need to understand that the party is a special privilege. Work completion, attitude, and behavior all count until the last day of school. Thank you for reminding the students that school rules and expectations still stand.
JUNE 15-Moving On Ceremony: THIS IS IN THE EVENING OF JUNE 15. Parking historically has been an issue for this event so we used our field. Well if you have seen our field lately, you will see that construction has taken over and that is not possible. So for the MOC, families may begin arriving at 5:30 and can park at GNMS once our lot is full.
We are looking forward to all of these fun events for our 'seniors'!
Enjoy the 3 day weekend as we honor those who served and have passed away.
Beth Bianchi
Principal
Tuesday, May 30th ~ Spirit Day!
