Rain cannot dampen our Field Day Fun!
Thank you so much to the PTA for the amazing FIELD DAY! We were able to squeeze in up to an hour for ALL grades, even kindergarten! The School of Rock was jamming, the photo booth took super fun pics, and the inflatable games were awesome. The children LOVED it! Our military volunteers from Fort Story and Little Creek did a fabulous job. Teri Miller, Anjanette Schlemmer, and Daniela Seifert truly organized and put on an event to remember. Please enjoy the pics below.
IMPORTANT SOL TESTING REMINDERS
We wish our FOURTH GRADERS all the best as they take their Reading Test on Thursday, May 18 and Friday, May 19, and the MATH test on Monday, May 22. THEY ARE READY TO GO! Parents, all you need to do is ensure your child gets a good night's sleep and a healthy breakfast. For students that eat with our Breakfast Club, Mrs. Cathey has a hearty menu ready to go.
Please be cautious about arriving late and leaving early on testing days. TESTING STARTS AT 8:30 AM A student arriving after 8:30 will not be permitted to test and will have to take the test on the make up days. In addition, please refrain from picking children up early on testing days as well, for if they are not finished the test and have to leave, they will have to retake the entire test. That's just no fun for anyone!
Thank you for all you do for your amazing children! We are confident they will do well and do their best. Please don't stress. It's all good here at JBD and we have faith in our students!
