Patriot Family Gazette 2/4/23

Patriot Families,

What a crazy and unexpected week here at Jack. Despite having a mid-week freeze, it was a joy to welcome your Leaders back yesterday on campus. We know families and staff were impacted in a variety of ways, and we look forward to getting back on track next week, as we celebrate National Counselor's Week! It is a short week as we have early release on Thursday, and we do not have school on Friday February 10th. Our rescheduled group photos will be Monday, February 6th and Kona Ice will be coming on Wednesday.

The following week, be sure to mark your calendars for our annual February Book Fair and Lunch with a Loved One (see details below). Have a great weekend and we will see you on Monday!

- 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.
