Our tardy bell rings at 7:45 am each day. Your child needs to be in the building prior to this time! Students who are consistently late, even if it is a few minutes, are still missing valuable class time.

Julian Newman Families,

April 25th through April 28th is “Every Kid Healthy Week.” It is observed the last week of April each year in an effort to shine a spotlight on the great actions schools and families are taking to improve the health and wellness of their kids and the link between nutrition, physical activity, mental health, and learning. You can find more activities and information at: https://www.actionforhealthykids.org/get-involved/every-kid-healthy-week/. We encourage you to participate at home as well!

During next week, we will encourage students to participate in healthy daily challenges. For example: only drink water for the day, try new healthy food, learn and/or try a new dance move, teach a family member or friend a new exercise, etc.

On Thursday, April 28th, parents are invited to attend PE with their child and participate in physical activity. Make sure to wear your comfy clothes! :)
