JJES Pirate Family,

 

Thanksgiving Break November 27-29: No School

 

We are so excited to welcome our families to JJ tomorrow for a nice meal prepared by Aarmark.  Below are some helpful tips to help make things run efficiently tomorrow.

 

Thanksgiving Family Dinner Information

  • We will not be able to add guests to the event past the event due date (Nov. 8).
  • Parking- Due to construction, we will have limited parking space available.  Please carpool, if available.  
  • Officer Tyler Lyons will be directing traffic.  Please drive safely in the parking lot due to heavy traffic.  The Charlestown Library requests that parents NOT USE their parking lot during their operating hours for JJ events. 
  • Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your child’s scheduled lunch time.  There will be sign in/out tables in the gym lobby organized by classroom teachers.
  • Your child will meet up with you in the gym prior to going through the food line.

PTO Popcornopolis Update

Popcorn distribution will be the first week of December.  Anyone that sold more than 10 bags of popcorn will need to pick up their full order at school.   The Charlestown Parks Department has informed us that the train is currently undergoing more updates and will not be available until Spring for us to use for our Popcorn reward. 

 

Child Abuse/Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Lessons 

District Parent Informational Letter

All public schools in Indiana are required to provide age appropriate instruction on child abuse and child sexual abuse to students in Kindergarten through 12th grade. It’s important that children hear the foundations of safety in these areas both at school and at home. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the delivery of these lessons, please contact your child’s school. 

  • 3rd Grade will teach these lessons throughout the week of Nov. 18-22
  • 4th Grade will teach these lessons throughout the week of Nov. 18-22
  • 5th Grade will teach these lessons on December 3rd and 4th

 

Scholastic Book Fair- Dec. 9-13

The Scholastic Book Fair will be at JJES the week of December 9-13.  All students will visit the book fair on their scheduled class visit.  Only students with money to purchase items will be able to visit the Book Fair on Friday.  Classroom Visit Book Fair Schedule

We are also in need of parent volunteers to help work our Book Fair.  Please sign up on the Sign Up Genius form, if interested.  You MUST have a limited background check on file to volunteer.
