Our Learning Community...

Thank you so much for your generous donations to our APEX Jog-A-Thon! The funds we raise directly support our learners and your support truly makes a difference! We understand that not every family may have the capacity to donate at this time, and please know, your support in every form is deeply appreciated. We also recognize that there may be loved ones near and far or businesses looking for meaningful ways to support public education, especially a community like ours at Jones. Thank you for sharing the Jog-A-Thon link and information with your circle of influence. Every share, every connection, and every bit of support helps lift up our learners.


We would love to have you join us this Thursday, April 24th to cheer on our students during the Jog-A-Thon!

  • 8:00 am 3rd Grade -5th Grade
  • 9:00 am Preschool - 2nd Grade


Then come back between 5:00 p.m. - 6:15 pm for our Spring Showcase of Learning that evening! You will get to experience the incredible work our students have done throughout the year, with highlights displayed in classrooms, interactive IMPACT stations on the blacktop, and an Art Museum exhibit in the library. It is going to be an amazing evening!


Also, don’t forget... April 22nd is the last day to order a yearbook and have it delivered to Jones this school year. Please see the flyer below for details.
