JPC WEEKLY NEWS 1-15-25

POINTS FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Schools are closed next Monday, January 20th, 2025.

Kindergarten Report Cards/Progress Reports: Please note that these documents will be available via your Parent Portal/Genesis account on Friday, January 31st.

As Ms. Farias (Principal of Jefferson Elementary School) and I have communicated, each parent/guardian who is picking up their child(ren) at dismissal, MUST PARK in the JES/Pool parking lot, no matter the weather. This is a safety issue. Cars have been backing up onto Ashwood Avenue creating dangerous conditions for walkers/pedestrians. You may have noticed a police presence, which will continue and may lead to tickets. We hope it does not get to this point. Please be respectful of the protocols, other families, and pedestrians; this is for everyone's safety. Students will not be released if we see you parked along the driveway.

February 10, 2025 is a Single Session Day. Please, please, please plan ahead for the following dismissal times:

Kindergarten Classes: 8:30am-12:00pm
Mrs. Amiel and Ms. Ciccarelli's Classes: 8:30am-12:30pm

AROUND THE CLASSROOMS

I observed students...

using their letter-sound knowledge to write about their weekends
representing numbers using tens frames and counters
demonstrating their ability to underhand toss safely and properly

Spanish with Senora Muldoon: In World Language we are finishing up our unit on body parts. We created and labeled our own silly monsters after reading Go Away, Big Green Monster! in Spanish. We also practiced all our words with fun songs and characters from Trolls. See if your child can tell you any words they have learned! See photos below!
