Dear JCMES Families,
We hope everyone had a relaxing long weekend! We were excited to welcome our students back into the building this morning after a second round of winter weather. The chilly January temperatures are certainly keeping us on our toes, but we are looking forward to another great week ahead!
This week, please note that the 3rd-5th grade SOL growth assessments have been rescheduled for Thursday, 1/23 and Friday, 1/24.
Day of Play Donations:
We are excited for our annual Day of Play, coming up on Friday, February 7th! This special day is all about celebrating childhood joy with free play and themed stations. This year, our theme is dinosaurs!
To make this event a success, we are in need of a variety of items. Please click on the following link to access our sign-up: https://signup.com/go/ALLcYoX
