Happy Fall, Y'all!
We are about to kickoff the busiest quarter of the school year with a jam-packed fall season. Be sure that your kiddo comes to school every day so they don't miss out on all of the learning and all of the fun! One of the best ways to learn is by experiencing things, and we have all kinds of experiences planned for the month of October!
Important Dates for October
October 9-16 FALL BREAK - NO SCHOOL!
October 7 - 16 ReadOKC Fall Reading Challenge
Friday, October 20 - Fall Pictures

October Character Trait: Responsibility
Responsibility means: Taking credit, or criticism, for your own actions.
Quote: How high I am, how much I see, how far I reach, depends on me.
JPK Perfect Attendance Recognition
Attendance is IMPORTANT! EVEN IN PRE-K!
Student attendance is one of the largest factors in student academic success. Students that come to school every day do better in school Here at Johnson Pre-K we recognize classes daily who have perfect attendance. Mrs. Huggins personally comes to the class to celebrate perfect attendance days, and those classes are also recognized at our weekly Rise-N-Shine program on Friday mornings. Classes track those Perfect Attendance Days, and they receive a prize for every 10 perfect attendance days achieved. Additionally, names of students with good attendance are put into a drawing every quarter to receive a fancy new scooter! Unless you child is truly sick (fever, vomiting, or diarrhea) please send them to school every day! How is your child's class doing? See below...
