Principal's Message
Welcome to Week One of the new Quasimester! This Quasimester will run from October 19th to Friday, December 18th for periods 2, 4, and 6. Report cards for Quasimester 1 will be mailed out the week of October 26th and you should expect them in the mail that same week. I am very proud of the hard work that our Jaguars have put forth during this difficult time. We realize that it has not been easy for many and we are working on improving our communication, interventions, and supports for all students.
Our Afternoon Block of Support will begin the week of November 2nd. Looking ahead, we hope that any student that requires additional support can communicate that with their teacher by: attending Targeted Learning Support time after class, visiting a teachers office hours/homework help time during our afternoon block of support, or by attending our Saturday School Seminars. Students and parents can access our afternoon block of support schedule through our main website at www.willisjepson.com.
At this time, I do not have an update as to when we will return to in-person learning. Recently, Superintendent Jane Shamieh corresponded with our VUSD community and stated that "...we are continuing to work with our bargaining units and Governing Board to ensure that all precautions are in place on our campuses. A lot of planning and coordination with other entities has to go into any decision we make...we are aware that everyone wants to know when we will reopen but due to the many issues still being dealt with we cannot provide that today...as soon as dates are agreed upon we will let you know immediately."
At Jepson, we will continue to work hard to provide the best possible educational experience for our students!
Below you will find resources and information to assist you and your Jaguar in this new Quasimester.
Best,
Ana Farina
