CONFERENCES END ON TUESDAY
NO SCHOOL FRIDAY, STAFF DEVELOPMENT DAY
DEAR FAMILIES,
We have survived our first few days of inclement weather. The students did a great job transitioning appropriately during the wind and rain. We do expect a very rainy season and we will certainly be practicing these protocols.
Parent Teacher Conferences are wrapping up. We will be back to our regular 2:24 PM TK dismissal on Wednesday.
We can't wait until our Halloween Parade this Thursday. It is my first parade at JELA and I've heard that I am in for a HUGE treat! Please join us!
BEE Awesome!
