A Message from the Principal
I hope everyone has had a relaxing and enjoyable summer break. I know that it has gone by really fast and it seems crazy to think we are getting ready to start school in just a few days.
My summer like usual was spent at the ball fields in the heat watching my kids do what they enjoy but I wouldn't change it! I was able to get away for a few days and take a trip to Chicago which was super fun!
I am so excited to see the students on the first day of school and I look forward to hearing about their summer adventures!
Below are a few pictures from my families summer adventures. Feel free to share what you and your family did over the summer!
Connecting with the Counselor
Students in grades five through eight should now be able to see their class schedules in Skyward. Students will get a printed copy of their schedule as well as their locker and combination at their designated Back to School Night. This also includes fifth grade!
If a student has a question about their schedule or would like to change their schedule, they can message me on Schoology, send me an email or ask me at their Back to School Night. Please note that students are only allowed to change elective classes if there is a discrepancy in what they got enrolled in and what they pre-enrolled in last Spring.
Dental Checks
Jefferson West School District will provide Dental Screenings to all students enrolled, unless their parent/guardian has notified the school, to opt their child(ren) out of the dental screening. Please send a signed note or email to Nurse Abby, abby.martin@usd340.org by September 20th, if you want your student opted out of the dental screening.
