JAJHS Families,
As we wrap up our first full week of the school year, I want to take a moment to share how impressed I am with our opening few days! Our kids are fantastic! Thank you for sending us such a responsible, fun and respectful group of kids. One of my favorite parts of my job is watching a new school year unfold: new friendships being formed, returning students welcoming new students, classroom cultures being established and new learning and exploring beginning!
Around the building, we are starting to move into some deeper content and engaging activities. Our incredible team of teachers is excited to lead our students through their junior high experience!
As I shared at our orientation meetings, we are committed to making this year a positive time for our kids. Our students have adapted well to the expectations surrounding cell phones, planners, dress code, backpacks and Canvas. I am really proud of how well our students have approached this school year.
Please be on the lookout for grade-level team updates over the next week or so. These updates will give you a sneak peek at the upcoming topics and units that students will be covering in each grade and subject. We hope you find this a valuable way to stay connected.
Thank you again for the chance to work with your child. We are looking forward to a great year!
Sincerely,
Ryan Malany
Principal
Jonathan Alder Junior High School
