Our Learning Community...
April is the month of the military child and we loved celebrating our military connected students and their families on Friday. Thank you to our Student Council for doing an amazing job of leading the ceremony. Also a big thank you to our classrooms and student representatives for making the event so meaningful. It was a joy to see so many military members and families join us. You could feel the pride our community has for our military population and we are so grateful for your service.
This week we have a few more family events, so make sure you check out all the flyers below. On Thursday families can joins us during lunch for a Western BBQ and on Friday you can come see learning in action when we showcase our Leader in Me work. We hope you can make it!

Lunch is free for all Jones students, but there is a fee for visitors. Students are not required to get school lunch, they are always welcome to bring a healthy lunch from home.
Special Lunch Schedule:
Kindergarten & 1st Grade - 11:00 - 11:30 am

Unfortunately students will not be able to be pulled from class to have lunch with a sibling, hopefully if you have children in multiple grades you will be able to stay for their respective lunch times.
We will have extra space for families to sit together at the tables under the lunch arbor or you are welcome to bring a blanket to picnic on the adjacent lawn.
We hope you can make it!
