Staff Spotlight
Hi there!
We are your Danny Jones Intervention Team and we are so excited to help students thrive and meet their personal academic goals this year.
As an intervention team, we believe ALL students have the potential to grow and learn. We are passionate about identifying exactly what our students need and investigating the best practices to ensure their success. Parent support is a vital component to helping our students at Danny Jones succeed. We look forward to hearing your input and guidance so that we may get to know your child better. This will ensure we can help them in the best way possible.
Beginning Thursday, September 9th, all games require a ticket from Ticket Spicket. CASH will NOT be accepted at the door.
Students must have an adult present to attend games.
