Next week, we are looking forward to celebrating Kindness Week at JWMS! Students will engage in daily kindness challenges, participate in fun relationship-building activities, and have the chance to join in on our spirit week festivities. We kicked off the conversation this week during our CharacterStrong lesson focused on anti-bullying, emphasizing the importance of kindness in our community.
Please see the Spirit Week information below:
News From the Nurse
Pneumonia, Impetigo, and Strep infections have been reported in our schools. We truly appreciate those that have reached out to let us know what their child has been ill with. When you do, we can take additional measures to stop the spread, as well as provide better support for your child’s return from illness related absence. One of the many benefits of being part of a small rural community is the concern we have for our neighbor, classmate, and teammate.
Covering your cough and washing your hands are two simple but important things our kids can do. We are cleaning and disinfecting more frequently. If you completed the form at enrollment for your child to have tylenol and/or ibuprofen, this cannot be given for illness. Keep your child home if they are ill. A doctor’s note may be requested for your child’s return, if your child returns with symptoms.
