REPORT CARDS AND I-READY LETTERS
Greetings JSE Parents,
We have recently completed iReady benchmark testing. On Friday, your child should have received their report card and an iReady family report. Depending on how your child scored, you may receive an additional letter that outlines next steps for your student’s progress. Please reach out to your child’s teacher as questions arise.
One Book Blitz
On January 30th, we will be kicking off this year's One Book Blitz event! This is a community wide literacy initiative which gives students throughout Blount County in kindergarten through 5th grade the opportunity to read and become totally absorbed in the same great book. Teachers will decorate the school over the weekend prior to the kick off and we will announce the book title on Monday, January 30th!
Anyone interested can order a shirt to go along with One Book Blitz. Please note that the shirt design will appear blank when ordering so as not to give away the book title early! You may order using the link below through Thursday, January 12th. (Shirts will be sold again after kick-off on January 30th.)
Inclement Weather
We are reaching the point in the year where we may see snow and
ice. If we have a weather event, please monitor the radio, television,
social media, or MCS district website to look for delays or
cancellations. Check for Maryville City Schools (not Blount County
or Maryville Christian). The district's automated messaging system
will also send out phone calls and e-mails if there is any change to
the schedule. If you have had any changes to your home number,
address, e-mail, or emergency contacts, please let the front office
know ASAP. Thank you!
