Dear Families,

I want to highlight another procedure from our parent/student handbook regarding picking up your child eary from school.

Early Dismissal- Please allow up to 15 mins to retrieve your child after signing them out. Please refrain from signing students out during the last 15 minutes of class. A student must be signed out in the office if it is necessary to leave school early. The school will release a student only to the legal parent/guardian or an adult over the age of eighteen listed in Aeries. PHOTO ID IS REQUIRED BEFORE A STUDENT CAN BE RELEASED.

Student will no longer be called up to the office prior to being physically signed out in the office. We will not take phone requests to do so anymore.

Thank you,

Mr. Pappas

Dear families,

We will begin state testing on April 15th for all 3rd-6th graders. THis is the time where the students get to show what they have learned this year. We would like to create a fun, stress free environment so that the students are able to relax and do the best they can. I would like to ask that families email me an encouraging letter for your child. I will print out the letter and put it in an envelope. I will then give the letter on the first day of testing! Please email me by April 14th. Title your email with your child’s first and last name and teacher name. On the morning of the 14th, we are also going to create a Rally Tunnel. We ask that families come at 8:15 to create a human tunnel for our kids. Bring encouraging signs and get ready to hype up our kids. All families are welcome. Please join me in the courtyard starting at 8:15. Lastly, I want to remind parent how important it is that your child is not late or absent during testing. This leads to them having to make up the test on a different day and could lead to less success. Any student that arrives after the test has started will not be permitted into the room until that day’s testing is over. PLease avoid scheduling any appointments between 9-11 on testing days. Schedule is below….

4/15-4/17

4/22-4/24

4/29 5th grade Science test

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Please note that stickers, other than distrcit placed or teacher placed, are no longer aloud to be placed on Chrome books. Students that have stickers on thier Chrome books will be asked to remove them. Students are allow to purchase covers or cases for Chrome books if you so choose.

Ready to learn! As part of our PBIS moto, all students whould come to school ready to learn. Chrome books should be charged, homework or projects should be in your backpacks, and JM dress code should be followed. Reminder no Crocs are allowed.

Please make sure to call in your absences to Mrs. Veronica or Mrs. Joyce as soon as possible.

The effects on chronically absent students are major. Please make sure your child is attending school.

NEW dress RULES FOR 24/25 school year.

1. No make up allowed to be brought to school. Students wmay wear make up to school as long as it doesn't cause a distraction to oneself or others but may not bring and make up to apply. (clear lip balm or chapsticks are allowed but may not be shared)

2. No crocs are allowed at school-As crocs are a comfy pair of shoes. we have had several incidents of them causing safety issues. If a student has crocs on they will be asked to call home for regular shoes.

3. No Pajama bottoms allowed. As part of our goal of creating professional students here at Julia Morgan we are asking that students not wear Pajama bottoms to school unless it is a designated spirit day.

As we are heading into warmer weather please make sure all students are adhereing to our clothing policy...
