JJES Pirate Family,
This is the final week of Quarter 3. Spring Break is scheduled for 3/17-3/21. This week our students will be taking the ILEARN Checkpoint 3 on Monday and Tuesday. On Friday, we will have a PRIDE celebration day and we ask that your child wear their PRIDE Family shirt. We encourage you to review your child’s academic progress on Powerschool frequently throughout the school year. The Quarter 3 Report Card will be available for you to view on Powerschool at the end of the week.

Set Design Club- Permission slips due Wednesday, March 12th
Do you do you like to build, paint, craft? We will be working in tandem with JJ Beats to create props and the set for the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Play! Set Design Club is for 3-5th grade. Only 10 students from each grade level will be chosen. Permission slips need to be turned into me, Ms.Morton room E5, by Wednesday 3/12/2025. Art Club will meet every Friday afternoon, 4:00 pm to 5:00pm in the Art room. Please be considerate about our limited space for this activity. If your child plans to do other school activities that would meet on Friday after school, this might not be the right time to choose to participate in the club.

River Valley Middle School Theater
River Valley Middle School presents The Lion King Jr. on April 4th and 5th at 7:00 pm. You can purchase tickets online using the above link.
After School Activity Pick Up
We are so proud to offer a wide range of extracurricular activities at JJ. With multiple activities letting out at the same time, we ask that all parents or guardians use our car rider process to pick up after these activities. Please make sure to enter our parking lot from Halcyon Rd, wait in line to pick up your child, and exit the parking lot near the Charlestown Library. Do not park and walk over to get your child. This makes dismissal from these activities unsafe.
