JMI Monthly Newsletter
December 2020
_______________________________
Dear JMI Families,
Welcome to December! I hope that this newsletter finds you and your loved ones healthy and safe.
In November, we transitioned from the first to second marking period. I am beyond impressed with how our students are making the best of their ever-changing learning world. Our students are facilitating discussions about text, math, and science in breakout groups, conducting experiments at home, and mastering new concepts! Our JMI Knights are really holding true to our theme of this year and soaring to new heights.
Obviously, we are now all remote. While our daily schedule remains the same, we know that this is yet another change for our students, staff, and our JMI families. Please remind students that cameras must be on during the school day and students should be using their Edison device. If there are issues with the Chromebook, please fill out the tech ticket embedded in this newsletter. Thank all of you for your support at home. We could not do this without you!
I wish you all a very happy and healthy holiday season!
Best,
Mrs. Abatemarco
