Dear JC Families,
Starting Monday, June 8, our cafeteria will no longer be accessible as we begin the next phase of our renovation project, which is expected to be completed by the start of the 2026–2027 school year. During this temporary transition, students will eat in a dining space set up in the gymnasium, and we have worked closely with our Facilities Department, Food Services team, and Superintendent Dr. Jones to ensure students continue to have a comfortable space and a variety of meal options.
Our temporary lunch schedule will be:
5th Grade: 10:45–11:15 AM
2nd Grade: 11:15–11:45 AM
Kindergarten and 1st Grade: 11:45 AM–12:15 PM
3rd Grade and 4th Grade: 12:15–12:45 PM
Head to the district’s food services webpage for a JC-specific menu. Please refer to the image below for lunch pre-order information to pre-order whenever possible. Breakfast will continue to be available each morning at 7:45 AM, and students will have access to both cold lunch options and select hot meals, along with offerings from Garden Catering and Domino’s. We appreciate your flexibility and partnership during this exciting time for our school community.
Our 4th Grade Author Residency concluded today, marking the end of an incredible Writer-in-Residence program led by Katie Petruziello, author of Mighty Mila. Over the course of five days, Katie guided students through the exciting process of writing their own books, which they completed today. This program provided a unique opportunity for our scholars to experience how an author's mind works, observe the writing process in action, and see their own ideas come to life in print. They absolutely loved the experience, creative energies were flowing throughout the week, and our young authors displayed a remarkable sense of pride in their work. We are grateful for this enriching opportunity and the lasting impact it has had on our 4th grade scholars. A special thank you to the PTA for making this possible for our 4th graders.
Congratulations to Noah Mesarina for serving as Principal for a Day! He came dressed for the part in a collared shirt and blazer, visited classrooms, observed engaging learning in action, and even helped with morning announcements. Noah did a wonderful job capturing the energy and excitement of the school day and showing great school spirit throughout the experience.
