Jones Jaguars Newsletter

Good Afternoon Jaguar Nation,

We are entering the final two weeks before winter break, and I want to take a moment to thank our entire community for the support you continue to show our students and staff. Our PTO is currently hosting a Gift Card Donation Drive to ensure every amazing staff member receives a small token of appreciation this season. Our PTO is still short of their goal! The link below goes directly to the gift card purchase page, should you wish to donate.

Next week brings a full lineup of winter concerts across our fine arts programs. In addition, students will be wrapping up units, completing capstone projects, and preparing for their semester performance tasks. As we close out the semester, please take time to review your student’s grades in Skyward and encourage them to finish strong. A reminder that semester performance tasks are administered only during the last week of school. The single make-up opportunity will take place on January 5th from 8:30–11:30 AM.

Have a great weekend! Go Jags!
