π Bus Reminder! ππ
Most bus drivers have cleaned their buses for the summer and are only allowing items that fit inside a backpack, lunchbox, or binder. This means no cupcakes, snacks, or party supplies on the bus if they donβt fit!
π If you're sending in treats or supplies for a class event, please plan to drop them off at school instead.
Thanks so much for your understanding and support!

Medicine Pickup Announcement
Dear JAE Parents and Guardians,
As we come to the close of the school year, I wanted to remind you that if you have medications (Tylenol, Advil, Benadryl, Inhalers, Epi-Pens, etc.) in the school clinic, this will need to be PICKED up by a parent or guardian. The final day to pick medication up is the last full instructional day of school, May 21, 2025. Medication may not be sent home with students. Any medication not picked up by May 21, 2025, will be destroyed immediately following dismissal.
I wish you and your family a safe and healthy summer.
Kind Regards,
RN Tara
Afternoon Dismissal Reminder
π Attention Parents! π
Weβve seen cars cutting into the bus lane on the K-1 playground side during afternoon dismissal. This is dangerous and could cause accidents. Please follow our dismissal procedures for everyoneβs safety!
β
As you round the playground, cars split into two lanes.
βοΈOnce you choose a lane, you CANNOT change lanes.
β‘οΈ Left lane = Turn LEFT onto Shute Lane toward Gallatin Road.
β‘οΈ Right lane = Turn RIGHT onto Shute Lane toward Cages Bend Road.
Following these steps keeps everyone safe and helps dismissal move faster!
Thank you for your cooperation! β€οΈ #SafetyFirst #Teamwork
A Heartfelt Thank You to Our PTO and Families

Because of your time, generosity, and dedication, we've had a year filled with successful events, memorable experiences, and meaningful appreciation for our teachers and staff.
Thanks to your support, our school has achieved outstanding milestones β being named a Reward School, a STEAM Re-designated School, and receiving a Letter Grade A on our School Report Card. These accomplishments reflect the strong partnership between our school and our families.
Most importantly, your contributions help us create exceptional learning experiences for our students. We are truly grateful for all you do to make our school community strong, joyful, and thriving.
Thank you for an amazing year!
