Country Fair! Saturday, May 25, 2019 (10:00 - 2:00)
Our Annual Country Fair is quickly approaching. This is our biggest fundraiser and our Country Fair Parents have been working tirelessly at organizing a wonderful fair for our students and their families. The staff of JPS would like to express our tremendous gratitude to our parents who are helping with this amazing event, including doing the judging of the school-wide poster contest!
We are in need of volunteers for the day. If you have a high school student who needs some volunteer hours or if you are able to volunteer that day, we'd appreciate the extra help. Also, if you haven't gotten your class basket donations in, please do so in the next week or two.
Contact Fay Cooper at fayann75@gmail.com if your able to volunteer!
This should be a great day!
Our Open House for new Kindergarten students is on May 14th 4:30-5:30
A Few Reminders...
- please ensure our bus drop off lane stays clear in the mornings and at the end of the school day - parents/guardians can park in the lot or on the road
- please make sure end-of-day arrangements are made with your child's teacher (via a note or the agenda) and that your child knows how he/she is going home. We are finding that we are losing instructional time the last half hour of the day with having to disrupt classes to pull students out or call in with pick up information. Students are learning right up to 3:35 and if parents/guardians can wait to pick up until then, we'd appreciate it.
- if you are picking up your child(ren) at the end of the day, please ensure that they are picked up at 3:35. We don't have supervision after school.
