Rising Kindergarten Students Important Dates
We are very proud of our students in grades 3-5 for working so hard on Reading EOGs on Friday.
This is a reminder that we will be taking our Math EOG tomorrow. Be sure students get plenty of rest so we can show what we know!
Have a good evening!
Today we had the 3rd - 5th Grade EOG Pep Rally. We had Great EOG Relay, Teacher Cheer, Jingle or Cheer and guest speaker Mr. Ethan Brantley. Encourage your child to do their best, don't stress, and do their best.
Today is National School Nurse Day and JCPS is excited to celebrate those who are committed to the well-being of our students each day!
Please help us celebrate and champion these dedicated healthcare leaders today and every day of the year!
