Jordan/Jackson News You Can Use

Our 5th grade students will be visiting the middle school this Thursday, June 13, from 11am - 1:30pm. Students will get a snapshot of what life is like in the middle school. They will have the opportunity to ask administration questions, meet teachers, listen to performances by the chorus, band and orchestra, have a stinger event in the gym, and have lunch in the cafeteria. If you need to dismiss your child during this time, please let us know so we can plan accordingly.

A NOTE FROM OUR NURSES.......

Students must wear sneakers and socks for field day. Sneakers provide much more support to the foot and ankle during physical activity. There will be many fun activities such as 3-legged races and obstacle courses; we want everyone to be safe and injury-free!

Please apply sunscreen to your child before they come to school. We are hoping to enjoy a nice, sunny day and want to be sure all students are sufficiently protected. If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us.
