Janssen SCHOOL
July 2024 Newsletter
Janssen Families,
I hope this newsletter finds you all enjoying your summer. My hope is that you have found time for fun, time for rest, and time to simply be present. While the classrooms and hallways are quiet here at Janssen, contractors, Ms. Kathy, our custodian, and some of our teachers have all been busy completing a variety of projects to prepare for the upcoming school year.
As we prepare for the upcoming school year, we know that we want our students to continue to develop as problem solvers. By continuing to set high expectations for learning every day, there will be no limit on what our students can achieve.
As a parent myself, I recognize all that each of you do to help your child succeed. Parents and families are an integral part of helping students grow and there is significant value in your engagement in your child’s education. Together, we can build and foster a love of learning both at home, and at school, to help our students expand their thinking, develop as problem solvers, and make infinite connections to their world around them.
We are looking forward to seeing so many of you at our scheduled Meet the Teacher opportunity. This will be held on Wednesday, August 28th from 3:00-5:00PM.
I truly miss seeing all of our students' smiling faces and am already looking forward to kicking off another school year together. Until then, I am wishing you and your family well as you enjoy the rest of the summer sunshine. See you soon!

Mark Your Calendars - August 1st-15th - Annual Update and Schedule Release
The Annual Update process which is done through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal replaces the forms you have filled out at your school in the past and is required for all families. This is a guided process that will walk you through updating and reviewing your information for the upcoming school year and must be completed by the Primary Parent/Guardian. Student schedules for the upcoming school year will also be made available on August 1st.
Please be aware during summer months I am out of the building. I do not regularly check my email and do not have access to my voicemails. I will respond to your message when I am able. If you need more immediate assistance with something, you may call our front office at 1-920-788-7915. I will have limited availability to check my messages until I am back on August 27th. Thank you for your patience and have a great summer.
