I believe we all have been waiting anxiously for the beginning of this new school year. The build up of excitement has brought us to less than 24 hours away from seeing our scholars and parents walk through the front doors of our school. Thank you so much for coming out to our Open House sessions. It was great to see you with your loved ones. We welcome all our returning students and those who will be join the Jackrabbit learning community for the first time this 2024- 25 school year. School begins Monday, August 5th.

Our collective efforts will focus on the following:

Increasing attendance rates towards 97% and decreasing tardies.

Keeping the lines of communication open to help ensure student success.

School and home partnership and involvement with our local community.

Safety in every aspect of our daily activity.

Uniforms can be purchased at either the Classroom Store on Pellicano or online with 1st Place Spirit Store. Get your Jackrabbits merchandise here. For the 2024- 25 school year we are asking that scholars wear ONLY Col. Ben Narbuth spirit gear for hoodies. No name brand hoodies. Orders placed will benefit our school. The links are on our newsletter conveniently for you.

We encourage parents to drop off students and escort students to their classroom on the first day only. Please let the teacher know if your child will be picked-up and by whom. Will the student be riding the bus? Let your child and teacher know where they will be picked up at the end of each day. Teachers check their email during their conference period and after school. We are migrating from Class Dojo to Skyward Messenger to communicate with parents.

We do require a 24 hour notice of any changes to transportation, for the students safety. No last minute changes will be allowed. Contact the front office in the case of an emergence ONLY for changes to pick up or transportation. Thank you in advance for your support in this matter. Our teachers will be communicating with our parents via SKYWARD Messenger. We will slowly migrate from using Class Dojo.

IMPORTANT: Bus ID Badges

VERY IMPORTANT: If your child is scheduled to ride the bus, please read the following:

• Verify your child has a bus ID.
• If no bus ID, the campus will be taking photos for bus identification badges as early as Monday, Aug. 5th.
• Lost or stolen badges will cost $5 dollars for a replacement.

1. Missed Lessons = Falling Behind: Even one day can mean missing critical instructions and activities, making it harder for your child to catch up.

2. Impact on Future Success: Consistent attendance is a strong predictor of academic achievement and future opportunities.

3. Building Resilience: Regular attendance teaches your child the value of perseverance and responsibility—essential skills for success in life.

4. Stronger Friendships: Daily presence helps your child develop and sustain friendships, which are crucial for emotional and social development.

5. Healthy Routine: Attending school every day establishes a stable routine, promoting better mental and physical health.

Attendance will be monitored daily. September is Better Attendance month. More information will follow to help us celebrate!
