Mindfulness Strategy of the Week
The Owl by Brandi Stiles
Sit comfortably on a chair or floor. Take your right hand and pinch the opposite shoulder muscle. Turn your head toward that shoulder and take a deep breath; switch.
Kindness Challenge of the Week
Call your grandparents, and tell them about your day.
Every week, your child will be receiving a kindness challenge! If they complete the challenge, they get to put up a sticker on our kindness challenge board!
Jump in on the fun at home too! Help us promote kindness to all - at school, home, and community!

Important Reminders and Updates
School hours are 7:50AM -2:50PM. Students can arrive starting at 7:15AM. Students may not be dropped off prior to 7:15 AM. If you bring your child to school after 7:50 AM, you must escort them to the front doors.
We are highly encouraging parents who are bringing their child to school to use the car drop-off drive. If you would like to walk your child in, you will have to say goodbye outside the front doors. Please trust us that we have your child's best well-being in mind at all times.
All school supplies are provided by the PTO. Your child only needs a backpack, headphones, and a water bottle. Please write your child's name on all items.
Please see nurse Brandi Stiles for prescription medicine intake. All medicine must be accompanied by a parent and include a physician’s prescription. Students are not allowed to transport medicine to school.
VERY IMPORTANT- If your child's transportation changes, please notify the office with a note ASAP.

Can We Take AR Tests at Home?
YES! Here are a couple important things to know and remember as your kids test at home:
Step 1: Visit https://clever.com/in/gjcs
Step 2: Log in to Clever. (Your child should know this information - short number, long number)
Note: Make sure it says ‘Greater Jasper Consolidated School District’ at the top.
Step 3: Under ‘More Apps’ select ‘Renaissance’.
