Jones Jaguars Newsletter

Good Afternoon Jaguar Nation!

Our students did a great job with STAAR testing this week—thank you for your support in ensuring they were prepared and ready to do their best. We will continue next week with 8th grade STAAR testing in Science and Social Studies.

We also have our Aloha Dance—please see the flyer below for details for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. It is shaping up to be a great night. This is a big event, tickets are sold through the link below.

The Prosper ISD Hope Walk will take place tomorrow, April 11th at Children’s Health Stadium. We encourage our community to come out and support this meaningful event.

Soccer “kicks off” next week with our first game against Moseley. We encourage you to come out and support our Jaguars.

With warmer weather, we have noticed an uptick in dress code concerns. Please see the flyer below for our Jones dress code expectations to ensure all students are in compliance.

Additionally, we want to provide a safety reminder regarding scooters and bicycles. Students should wear helmets and walk their scooters and bicycles once they arrive on campus to ensure the safety of all.

Have a great weekend, and Go Jags!
