Our school theme this year is Unlock Your Potential. Last spring students were presented with a few themes and this year's theme was voted the most popular. Students have already completed many activities to identify ways in which they will be able to unlock their potential. We are all capable of accomplishing tasks and challenges that we didn't know possible. This theme will be used as a guide to challenge one another to complete assignments that unlock our potential.

We are less than 2 weeks away from our annual Walk-A-Thon and Jayhawk Jaunt! Thank you to all the families and friends who have secured pledges and gotten donations. Please click on the button below if you still wish to donate. Students may receive an additional prize based on the level of their sponsorship. Also, the advisory class in each grade level with the highest pledge total will have donut party one the morning. Here are the leading advisory classes:

• 6th Grade - Bartosz
• 7th Grade - McGregor
• 8th Grade - Gerleve

Please contact jaystreampta@gmail.com with any questions.

Attention 8th grade families: the P-ACT will be administered to all 8th grade students on Saturday, October 5 from 8:00 am - 12:00 pm at Jay Stream Middle School. This assessment is used by District 87 to assist with the placement of freshman level courses. It is important to note that there will be no makeup test, so please make arrangements to attend the test.

All students attending athletic events will be expected to display good sportsmanlike conduct toward fans and players from other schools, as well as game officials. Poor behavior and sportsmanship may cause those students to lose the right to attend future athletic events or other extra curricular activities.

If a student is planning to attend an after school sport, they must meet in the cafeteria after the dismissal bell where they will be supervised. Once the sport is ready to begin, the sports supervisor will usher the students to the student section, either in the gymnasium or on the bleachers in the field.

Our next PTA meeting will be on September 23 at 6:30 PM in the Jay Stream Innovation Center. A Zoom link will be shared at a later date in case there are families who wish to attend but are unable to meet in person. We hope to see you there!
