Dear Ira. B. Jones Families:
WE ARE THANKFUL FOR YOU!
At Jones, we are a close-knit community of students, staff, and families. Our motto, #noplacelikejones, perfectly describes our school community. As we approach this season of gratitude, I want to express my appreciation for what makes our school community truly special.
Firstly, I am grateful for the faculty and staff who show up every day and create a safe and engaging learning environment where students are challenged and encouraged to take risks. Their hard work ensures that our students' needs are met and that they receive quality instruction. Despite the changing landscape of education, our teachers deliver rigorous core curricula and personalized learning and provide constructive feedback to help our students grow. Their flexibility, creativity, and willingness to try new approaches make them invaluable members of our team.
Secondly, I am thankful for the rest of our school's support staff, who work tirelessly to ensure our students' success. Their dedication and hard work tremendously impact our students' lives, and I am grateful for their contributions.
Next, I am proud of our students for their commitment to learning. They are thoughtful, compassionate, and curious learners who make Ira B. Jones Elementary a fantastic place to be. Their enthusiasm and positivity are infectious, and they inspire us to do our best every day.
Lastly, I am grateful for your support and dedication to your children's academic and social-emotional development. Our partnership is crucial to your child's success, and I appreciate your trust and confidence in us. Thank you for entrusting your children to us and allowing us to be a part of their educational journey.
On behalf of the Ira B. Jones Elementary staff, I wish you all a safe and happy holiday and your family is healthy during this Thanksgiving break! I hope this time is joyful and bountiful!
