Scholastic Book Fair Earnings
We’re excited to share that thanks to the support of our JSM families, our school earned $552.62! Your purchases made a real difference, and we truly appreciate your continued support of our school community.
School Council Meeting
We invite you to join us for our School Council meeting on Wednesday, February 25th, where we will be sharing an update on our School Development Plan progress.
Reminders about Valuables at School
We kindly ask that students leave valuable items at home, including toys, collectibles, electronics, and other special belongings. While we do our best to encourage responsibility and care, the school cannot guarantee the safety of personal items, and they can easily become lost, damaged, or a distraction to learning. Thank you for your support in helping us keep the focus on learning and ensuring personal items stay safe at home.
Lunches and Snacks
Please ensure your child comes to school with enough food to last the full day. Students have a morning snack, lunch, and an afternoon snack, so packing a little extra helps them stay focused and energized for learning. If your family is experiencing food insecurity or needs support, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the school, we are here to help and can connect you with available supports.
