2022-23 School Year :: September 5, 2022
Hello from Mrs. Hankins!
Happy Labor Day weekend! Remember, there will not be school on Monday, September 5. Instead we will celebrate Labor Day an annual celebration of our American workers during the Industrial Revolution. I hope you all get a little respite and enjoy time with family and friends.
If you tired of every day being Labor Day not having to work, then you're in luck! We have positions available! We are always looking for bus drivers, substitutes, and at JSE specifically we need a lunch/recess aide. Please consider joining this amazing district!
Have a great weekend,
~Mrs. Hankins
September's Principal Challenge
Please send in pictures and wonderings either through email khankins@union.k12.in.us or turn it in to the office. Each child that participates will get to put their name in a drawing to try to be Principal for the Day. I will notify winners on Monday, September 26. There will be one winner per grade level each month.
Now, go out there and discover that Math is Everywhere!
Our Quality Character Traits for the Month Are:
Personal Best
Review your work for errors and make corrections.
Do your personal best each time and be proud of the work you've accomplished!
August/ September Focus
Teachers will notice students exhibiting these attributes and they will be invited to Principal's Breakfast after each month.

Choir 4th and 5th Grade
Dear 4th and 5th Grade Parents and Students,
This year, your student has the opportunity to join our school choir! If your child likes to sing, please consider joining us this year! Don’t worry, no one will have to sing by themselves! We will begin on Tuesday morning, September 6th.
This year our choir will sing at the Veteran’s Day Program, perform in our Holiday Program in December, and will sing for a special Police Memorial Service hosted by the Porter County Sheriff's Office in the Spring.
Our choir meets before school on Tuesday mornings from 7:50-8:40am throughout the school year before the school day starts. Parents can drop off their children at the front entrance of our school. I will open the doors around 7:45 for you to come in. Please wait in your car until that time.
If you have questions, the easiest way to reach me is by email at kwillis@union.k12.in.us I also use the Remind app for communication. It is free and can be downloaded on your phone.
I look forward to a great year in choir!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Willis
