Principal Weekly Update to Families

For the Week of January 20th - 24th

Brief Message From the Principal

Dear JES Community,

Fastbridge Screening Process Underway
We are excited to announce that we are now using a new tool called Fastbridge to better understand the needs of our students in both reading and math. This system allows us to quickly and effectively screen all students to identify areas where additional support may be needed, as well as areas of strength to celebrate. We are currently in the middle of the screening process and anticipate finishing next week. Once complete, this information will help guide our teachers in tailoring instruction and interventions to ensure every student can thrive. Thank you for your continued support as we work together to provide the best for your children!

Preparing for State Assessment Interims

We’re getting ready for the second round of state assessment interim tests, which help us understand how well students are progressing in key areas like reading and math. These tests allow teachers to fine-tune their instruction and ensure students are on track to meet state standards. Our staff and students are putting in their best efforts to make this round a success as we gear up for the official testing season.

Facilities Committee Meeting
We’d also like to inform everyone about the next USD 346 Facilities Committee meeting, scheduled for Wednesday, January 29th, at 6:00 PM at Jayhawk-Linn Sr. High School. This meeting is open to all community members and will provide important updates on potential improvements to our district facilities. Your input and involvement are invaluable as we look to create an even better learning environment for our students. We hope to see many of you there!
