EJMS Jaguar Weekly Sept. 23 - 27

EJMS Families,

I hope everyone had a wonderful week! We had a great time at the annual tailgate with a huge crowd of students and families. Although we didn’t get the win, it didn’t keep everyone from having a great time. We are proud of how well all of our students represented themselves at the tailgate and thank you to the many parent volunteers who helped make it a successful event!

Midterms Available and Accessing Grades through IC Parent Portal

The first Nine Weeks Midterm grade reports are available through Parent Portal as of Friday, September 20th. Do you need help with Infinite Campus Parent Portal? Don’t know how to check on your child’s grades? Check out this IC Parent Portal Grades Doc for help.

Behavior Point System

We are approaching the time for each grade level to have a quarterly incentive reward. Students must have at least four out of a possible five points in order to attend reward days, field trips, and dances throughout the year. The graphic has additional details explaining how students can lose and earn points back.

Teacher Shout Out

Parents: if you would like to submit a Shout Out to one of our teachers or staff, follow this link to tell them why you appreciate what they do for your child!

Upcoming Dates:

• Fall Break October 5-13
  

Kids are starting to come to me more and more feeling like their heart is racing, dizzy, or with an upset stomach. Often, this is due to their consuming several energy drinks a day while at school or right before school. What they are putting into their bodies can have a huge effect on them. Please be aware of energy drinks that your students may be getting and talk with them about what drinking these can do to their growing bodies.

Come check out some great books and also Mr. Crane's awesome new desk wrap!
