My two cents...
Hello Jamison community!
You can often hear me state how fortunate I feel to be the principal of Jamison. I'm surrounded by a wonderful and supportive community, a terrific staff, and GREAT kids. Too many times we go through our day and not tell the people we care about how we feel...so, PLEASE know from the bottom of my heart how appreciative I am to be this school's leader.
Respectfully,
-Mr. Croyle

Understanding the IEP parent session presentation at Bridge Valley on 2/5 at 6:30pm.
We invite you to join us for an informational presentation entitled, “Understanding the IEP,” presented by our Special Education Department. In this 30-minute session, you will receive an overview of the major parts of the IEP (individualized education program) and learn how each section is used by school team members. This is open to all parents and guardians.
You are welcome to attend the session at the school and time that best suits your individual needs.
- February 5, 2020 6:30 p.m. at Bridge Valley Elementary School (Followed by home and school meeting.)
- April 14, 2020 9:00 a.m. at Titus Elementary School
Although this presentation is not student-specific, parents/guardians of students with IEPs are encouraged to bring a copy of their child’s IEP to page through during the presentation.
We hope to see you there!
Sincerely,
Allison Kuchler
Director of Special Education
Awards
We Salute You Award:
This is a monthly award given to a student that a staff member feels is dedicated to being the best person they can be in all that they do. This award can be given to a student that goes out of his/her way to help a friend, is a great classmate, and gives 110% in everything he/she does. This student receives a certificate at our monthly assembly as well as a Jamison Jet T-Shirt.
January’s Winners:
· Evan Abell
· Max Jin
Jet Ticket Winners:
When students are “caught being good”, a Jamison staff member can recognize their behavior by giving them a JET Ticket. The student must write his/her name on the ticket and circle the appropriate character trait (Respect / Responsibility / Safe Community / Sportsmanship). Students place the JET Tickets in the Ticket Box located outside of the Main Office. Then, three students from grades K-3 and three students from grades 4-6 are randomly drawn at our monthly assembly and are given Jet T-Shirts.
January’s Winners:
· Aleta Aliu
· Zoey Clark
· Julia Collins
· Jimmy Jonas
· Davin Samuels
