Patriot Family Gazette 2/6/2022

Patriot Nation,

We hope you all had the opportunity to relax on Thursday and Friday with our snow days and everyone stayed safe and warm. We missed our Patriots and are excited to welcome them back tomorrow! This week will be a short one as well, as we have early release on Thursday and no school on Friday. We will be celebrating Valentines Party's this week, February 10th, for our Kinder-5th grades. Reach out to your grade level teacher for your classroom times. Also, our annual Candy Grams go on sale (see information below)!

Thanks again for all of the support and have a great weekend!

24- Math, Makers, and More Night

Our Valentine's Party's this year will be held on February 10th for grades k-5 and on February 14th for Pre-K. Since we have a 3-day weekend and early release on the 10th, we felt like this would be the best time to have these! We look forward to seeing you here!

Mark your calendar's. We will be having another early release day on February 10th and No School on February 11th. We will follow the same schedule as we previous did with our walkers and car riders being released at 12:30 and the bus routes will run at 1:00.

Math, Makers and more, originally scheduled for January 27th, has been rescheduled to February 24th. Mark your calendars for this wonderful event that includes Winter games, experiments and much, much more!

Lunch with a loved one is a wonderful tradition here at Jack! We normally have a Winter Book Fair at this time as well. We felt that it would be safer to postpone our Lunch With a Loved One to Coincide with our book fair to be held in March. More details to come!

Our Jack PTA provides resources and opportunities for learning experiences, volunteering, and just plain fun! Please consider joining by going to http://www.jointpta.org. We love our amazing PTA and the support they provide for our Patriots!

Below you will find the link to our handbook for our families. This will also be posted on our website. Please keep in mind that this handbook is a general guideline for our campus, and we also follow the TISD handbook for district guidelines.

We wanted to send out an advertisement about following us on Twitter @jacktylerisd and follow me @BSShelby! This is a great way to stay connected to the happenings here at Jack! Our educators are also encouraged to share what is going on in their classrooms using twitter so contact them to see if you can give them a follow! You can also follow us on Facebook, as we post updates frequently and weekly newsletters. Please encourage family members to join, as it is a great way to connect to the learning inside our building from afar!
