JSE Tracks November 4th
We are Lil' BEARCATS!
JSE Monthly Attributes:
Characteristic of a Successful Learner (CSL): Think Interdependently
Bucket-Filling Trait: Gratitude
Our RoboCats are Proud Bearcats!
It's a Great Day to be a JSE Bearcat!
JSE thanks our Veterans! We have joined the Holiday Cards for Our Military Challenge:
More than 50 districts and individual schools, including JSE, have joined IDOE in this initiative sending holiday greeting cards to military deployed around the world. Thank you for organizing this at JSE Mrs. Asher's class!
Next Monday we have a very special honoring event planned for our Veterans and their families: The PTO Veterans Day Program will begin at 9am in the gym for Veterans and their families. A program similar to last year will occur ending with Veterans and their families in the cafeteria for cookies and pictures. We will wear RED on Monday for Remember Everyone Deployed. Thank you to the PTO and volunteers for making this a special event. We look forward to the program! If you have a Veteran you would like recognized please let us know and invite them to join us Monday at 9am for a special program in their honor.
This week a Successful Learner from each class will enjoy a Principal's Breakfast for exemplifying the Successful Learner Characteristic for October:Be a Self-Directed Learner. In November we focus on what it means and looks like to Think Interdependently. And we are well on our way through our technology Canvas discussion boards!
Please remember students have no school this Friday and this day is not an eLearning Day but it will be a great day to read a great book and practice those math facts! Keep your kids engaged with links on Canvas.
Thank you for your partnership,
Mrs. Barnes
