Happy Memorial Day...
Classroom Placement
When your child receives their report card on the last day of school, they will also receive a letter with a room number. That room number will be your child's placement for the 2017-2018 school year. On Monday, August 7th, please visit the Jamison website and click on your child's room number to see a letter from your child's teacher.
Thank you...
