Good afternoon, JSE Families,
Thank you for taking the time to meet with your child's teacher regarding their academic and social development. We hope you grabbed a mint! Let this be the beginning of a great partnership for your children, our students!
We have received beneficial feedback from our eLearning day. 91% of our students were successful at completing their eLearning! Thank you for your support at home. Our mock eLearning and Canvas homework helped prepare students for this successful day. Remember you still have today and tomorrow to submit any uncompleted eLearning activities. If you have any questions or concerns please let us know.
This week on Wednesday, our kitchen presents SuperEDHero Day in honor of all our SUPER KIDS AND TEACHERS! Students/Staff may dress-up in superhero shirts or capes, (no full costumes please) OR wear RED for EDucation. A big thanks to our kitchen staff for making our lunchtime fun!
Please check out several save the date flyers below...
Thank you for being OUR partners in education,
Mrs. Barnes
Safety Reunification Field Trip, Tuesday October 15th
A reunification could be initiated as a result of anything abnormal at the school or in the area: power outage, weather event, hazmat incident, threats, criminal activity in the area, or active violence at the school.
JSE's reunification sight is the Wheeler High School field house. This will be a short field trip to the high school's field house to practice the drill. Students will be at WHS for a brief period and then reload buses and return to JSE for their typical day. If you have any questions or concerns as always please let us know!
