The Jacobs Journal

We have already accumulated an incredible amount of clothing in our Lost & Found bin so far this year. Some items look new and expensive! All items are currently on display in the foyer outside the main lobby, and we hope students will take a moment to look through the collection and reclaim anything that belongs to them. We will keep everything out through Parent Conferences, and any remaining items will be donated to Wellspring afterward.

Tomorrow is the final day of our sixteenth annual Canned Food Drive, one of my favorite traditions of the school year. Thank you to all the families who have already contributed. Every non-perishable item truly makes a difference. As always, all donations will go directly to Wellspring, and the JES class and JMS House that collect the most cans will earn special recognition and prizes.

The excitement continues on Wednesday with our annual Turkey Trot. Families of students in grades four through seven are invited to join us for both the pep rally and the race. Only Turkey Trot volunteers will need to sign in through the main office. All other spectators should enter through the gym, with doors opening at 9:15 for a prompt pep rally start at 9:30. We kindly ask visitors to remain in the gym area so we can maintain a safe environment for all students. The race is expected to begin at 10 o’clock, followed by an awards ceremony at approximately 10:45. As parking will be extremely limited, carpooling is strongly encouraged. We look forward to sharing this joyful tradition with you.

Lastly, a quick reminder that the trimester ends on Wednesday when grades close. JES report cards will be sent home the following Wednesday, December 3, and JMS report cards will go live in Aspen that same day. Thank you for your continued partnership as we wrap up this first stretch of the school year together.

Please inform both the office and classroom teachers of any changes to your child's dismissal plans, on any school day. Dismissal changes are checked and double-checked, and if the office can't confirm them, they may not be allowed.

JMS students will receive their cookie dough orders before dismissal on Monday. Students with several items will need to be picked up, because it will be too difficult to carry multiple items on the bus. If any students are staying after school, please email Mr. St. George at astgeorge@hullpublicschools.us so he can keep the cookie dough refrigerated until afterschool activities end.

Please join us for this classic comedy based on the fairy tale, "The Princess and The Pea." Calling all princes & princesses! Come to the Saturday 2:00 performance and then join the cast for a royal photoshoot after the show!

For those who were unable to make it to yesterday's Pirate Time presentation, we are offering an encore on Parent Conference Night, December 4, at 6:30pm in Room C148.

Have you heard your child talking about Pirate Time? Do you wonder what Pirate Time is? If so, please come meet your Jacobs Interventionists and learn more about Pirate Time. We will discuss what Pirate Time is, how groups are formed, and what you can do at home to support your child.

We know that for various reasons some families may need additional support with gifts and/or clothing this holiday season, and we are here to help! If you would like to be included in our Holiday Giving Program and are not participating in another gift program, please click on this link to sign up. Please complete one form for each child you'd like to receive gifts. (Once you’ve completed the form for one child, click on the link again to sign up another.) Children must be registered by Monday, November 17, to give our donors time to shop. Participation in the program is kept confidential by the counseling department, and gift donors do not know who the recipients will be. If you have any questions, please contact Kacee Evitts at kevitts@hullpublicschools.us or at 781- 925-4400 ext.1137.

In collaboration with the Hull Board of Health, the influenza vaccine is now available to the students/staff/siblings/parents/guardians at Jacobs School. If you would like your child to receive the vaccine at school, please complete the online registration by clicking on the following link https://home.color.com/vaccine/walk-up/hull/jacobs-elementary-school or by using the QR code to the right. When she has been notified of the online registration, Mrs. Yakubian will call the parent/guardian to set a date and time to the call student to the nurse's office and give them the flu vaccine.
