Good Morning,

What a beautiful week! It's hard to believe this is the last week of daylight savings which ends on November 5. Clocks will then be turned back one hour on Sunday, 11/5.

Students had a chance this week to get outside, have fun on the playground, some classes collected beautiful colorful fall leaves while other classes explored and learned about pumpkins.

Black and Orange Days will be celebrated on Monday, 10/30 and Tuesday, 10/31.

Safety Reminders:

Anyone picking up your child that we have not met needs to be sure they have an ID with them. We will not release your child to anyone not on the pick up list and without and ID.
All children must be in a car seat. See the link for MA car seat law.

Enjoy the weekend!

OUR NEW COMMUNICATION BOARD HAS ARRIVED!

The students love our new communication board that's located on the playground. This will help to foster a more inclusive environment for all of our students.

I'm a Super Reader!

Help us reach our goal of 10,000 books

One of the most important gifts we can give our children is to help them learn to read and write so that they can succeed in school and beyond. Confident, active readers are able to use their reading skills to follow their passions and curiosity about the world. We all read for a purpose: to be entertained, to take a journey of the imagination, to connect with others, to figure out how to do something, and to learn about history, science, the arts, and everything else.

We hope to foster the love of reading in our students. Please help us by helping your child read each day. Attached is a reading chart that your child can color each time they read a book. Bring the reading chart to school once all apples are colored and your child will receive a Super Reader sticker. You may choose to only read 10 books per month or submit as many reading charts as you want. We will be keeping track by classroom. If JECC students reach the goal of 10,000 books, we will have a Bubble party at the end of the year.

Help our students reach their goal!
