Weekly Update
August 8th, 2023
We had a whole school assembly to recognize our students who received Honor Rolls for the 1st 9 weeks (some could change if students were sick and needed to turn in assignments). We do not print certificates anymore as they ended in the trash or all over the school. If you would like an honor roll certificate for your child please just email me and we can get one made.
This week we will only have school 2 days due to that and the 2nd 9 weeks just starting we will not be offering ASAP.
It will start back up the week of the 21st. Reminder that students who attend ASAP must be willing to put in the work and get the extra help on their assignments. It is not a time for goofing off and distracting others who are there trying to get caught up and get help.
I would like to invite you to meet with me during conference times this week. While I don’t have a sign-up sheet, I will be available at school during conferences. If you’d like to schedule a specific time, please feel free to reach out to me via email at payton.andrews@usd340.org.
At JWMS, we place significant emphasis on the development of both individual and collective character within our community. As part of this commitment, we are excited to participate in the CharacterDare challenge. The CharacterDare is like a workout for our hearts and enables us to actively practice and enhance skills such as kindness, patience, and respect.
Our CharacterDare this week encourages students to take a “tech timeout” and pick a specific day this week to focus on being completely present with those around them.
We would also like to extend an invitation to all families to join us in taking up these challenges whenever possible. We are excited to discover the positive impact that these shared challenges can have on our students, families, and community
