End Of The Year All School Celebration

On Tuesday, June 13th, JFK will be having our End of Year All School celebration! This year students will be spending half of their day at JFK, and half of their day at Landry Park. While at JFK, students will be doing activities in their classrooms and watching a movie in the PAC. While at Landry Park, students will be swimming in Meyers Pool. There will be lifeguards at the pool while we are there. Students will also be playing field games, and have time to play on the playground, play with bubbles and eat a snack.

It is vital that all students come to school on June 13th with:

1. Sunscreen and bug spray already applied. If you do not want sunscreen put on your student, please let their classroom teacher know.

2. A sunhat

3. A full water bottle

4. A towel and bathing suit

5. Sneakers or comfortable walking shoes

If you HAVE NOT completed a field trip form for your student(s) please contact their classroom teacher right away. Students cannot go to Landry Park if they do not have a completed field trip form.

We would love to have adults from home join us for part or all of the All School Celebration. We need volunteers for the activities at Landry Park, especially at the pool. Volunteers are welcome to join us for a half-day or whole-day. If you have students in multiple grades, you are welcome to split your time between the grades.

Grades K, 1, and 2 will be at Landry Park in the morning and JFK in the afternoon. Grades 3, 4, and 5 will be at JFK in the morning and Landry Park in the afternoon.

Please fill out this form if you are interested in volunteering for the day!

Family School Climate Survey

This year we are asking families to help provide input regarding our Layer 1 behavior support systems in our school. We are using what is called the School Climate Survey, or the SCS, to do this.

The School Climate Survey for Families is a Feedback and Input Survey where families help school teams learn about the experiences family members have with the behavior support systems surrounding their students. Families can share their experiences in their own words. School teams will use the results to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, equity, and sustainability of their Layer 1 PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention and Support) systems. The survey is 19 yes/no and 11 open-ended questions which should take about 10 minutes to complete. All responses are completely anonymous. We have no way to connect you to your answers, and results will only be reported as group responses. There are no right or wrong answers. We want to know about your personal experiences.

This survey will be open from March 6, 2023, to June 13, 2023.

Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey.
