Patriot Family Gazette 5/2/25

Patriot Families,

What a great last week in April and first few days of May! We have made it to the last month of the 2024-25 school year. Next week is a big week for us here at Jack as we celebrate leadership across all grade levels. On Thursday we have our annual Leadership Day and Leadership Night! We hope you have a chance to visit during those days and can join us that night from 5:30-7:00 for Leadership Night (please see details below).

Also, Patriot Games are coming soon!! This is our annual field day here at Jack. Pre-K through 2nd will be Thursday, May 15th and 3rd-5th will be Friday, May 16th. PTA depends on volunteers to run this event, so please consider helping us out on one or both days!! Sign up here:

- Please drop off by 7:50. Our tardy bell rings at that time and we want our Patriots ready to learn with us.

- We cannot release kids after 2:45 due to dismissal procedures. If you have appointments, please make arrangements to pick up by this time.

- If you are dropping off before 7:15, please use the back loop. This area is staffed and students are directed to the cafe or gym. After 7:15, our front loop will be open.

We are pleased to announce that we are already hitting goals with our PTA enrollment! What a great way to start the year. Remember, it's not an obligation of time, it's a donation that can help our programming on our campus. Please use the link below to join as soon as possible.
