Jaguar Journal

Congratulations to the following students that demonstrated PRIDE behavior and earned positive shout-outs from their teacher. These students are leaders in their classrooms and are modeling kindness for their peers. Some words that the teachers used to describe these students were: helpful, kind, hard-working, positive, encouraging, and always nice to others. We are so proud of these students! Keep being you!

Mrs. Salomon's class worked very hard on their habitat projects. They were displayed for all to see last week in the building. Check out some of the very impressive pictures below!

• Just a reminder to all parents when picking up their children. ALL BUSES HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY WHEN EXITING THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT. Please be careful and cognizant of this when exiting.
• With the warm weather approaching, please make sure that your child dresses appropriately. It is sometimes chilly in the morning and then it warms up quickly. Wearing a short-sleeved shirt under a sweatshirt would be very helpful.
• Please have your child wear appropriate shoes for gym class and the playground. Sandals and slide shoes are not safe.
• Please remember to have your child bring a water bottle with their name on it each day. The drinking fountains are off limits at this time due to COVID precautions.
