EJMS Jaguar Weekly Nov. 28 - Dec.2
Keeping our School Community in the Know
From Principal Pickerill's Pen 🖊
Parents,
I hope everyone had a wonderful, safe Thanksgiving break and that your family stayed healthy throughout this extended break.
Morning Arrival
As the weather gets colder I wanted to remind everyone that the front doors do not open until 8:30 AM. Unfortunately, we do not have a supervision schedule to be able to monitor students who are waiting for the doors to open. We want to ensure that all students are warm and safe so please make sure that you do not release students from your care until the time when doors open at 8:30.
Cell Phone Reminders
We wanted to send a reminder of the Cell Phone/Electronic Device Use Policy:
The use of cell phones and other electronic devices is prohibited during the school day. Students may keep their cell phones in their lockers and turn them off throughout the school day.
When a student is caught using an electronic device, the teacher will take the device and send it to the office. At the end of the day a teacher will be in the office to return all confiscated devices.
Headphones/earbuds are NOT ALLOWED to be used during the school day unless authorized by the teacher during THAT class period.
Students in violation of the school procedure for cell phones and other electronic devices will be subject to the following:
1st offense: The device will be confiscated and sent to the office where it can be picked up by the student in the office at the end of the day.
2nd offense: The device will be confiscated and sent to the office where it will need to be picked up by a parent (guardian).
3rd offense: The device will be banned from school for the remainder of the school year.
Attendance Incentive
As we finish out the remaining three weeks of school we want to offer an incentive for students. Any student who does not have any unexcused absences/tardies from November 28 - December 15 will be invited to attend a dance during the last day of school 12/16/22 during their arts classes. All other students will continue their normal class schedule on this day.
iReady Dates
The Winter iReady Diagnostic is coming up: Reading - November 30-December 2nd and Math - December 7th-9th. We will have prize drawings for students who have made growth from their Fall Diagnostic.
