Principal Weekly Update to Families

Brief Message From the Principal

Dear Jayhawk Elementary Families,

We have a fun week ahead at Jayhawk Elementary! Next week, September 28–October 2, we will celebrate Kindness Week while joining in the excitement of our Homecoming festivities.

We encourage all of our students to participate in our daily dress-up themes:

Monday – Manners Matter Day: Wear something that makes you happy!
Tuesday – Thankful Day: Wear bright or neon colors!
Wednesday – Work Hard Day: Wear workout clothes!
Thursday – Thoughtful Day: Wear your favorite outfit!
Friday – Jayhawk Spirit Day: Wear Jayhawk gear or school colors!

Most importantly, we want our students to CHOOSE KINDNESS all week long! Let's make it a great week of school spirit, kindness, and Jayhawk pride! ❤️💛

🏫 JES Site Council – We Want Your Voice!

Have you ever wondered how parents and community members can have a voice in helping shape our school? Our JES Site Council is one way to do just that!

A Site Council is a group of parents, school staff, community members, and the principals who work together to look at how our school is doing, discuss areas for improvement, review important information and data, and provide ideas and feedback about how we can continue to improve the experience for our students. It is an opportunity to bring different perspectives together and work toward what is best for all JES students.

We are currently looking for parents and community members who would be interested in serving on our JES Site Council. If you would like to learn more or are interested in being considered for membership, please complete our JES Site Council Recruitment Questionnaire.

We would love to hear your ideas and have your voice represented! 💛❤️
