Message From the Office
Dear Families,
As we enter November, we reflect on a busy and productive fall and look forward to the opportunities this month brings. With the end of the semester approaching, our focus remains on supporting each student in their academic and personal growth.
We encourage you to check in with your student(s) about their progress and remind them to reach out for support if needed. Our teachers, counselor, and staff are here to help every step of the way.
We will host our Annual Veteran's Day Assembly on November 11 at 9:00 a.m. This event is a meaningful tradition, and we look forward to honoring those who have served.
We want to express gratitude to our entire Jayhawk community—students, families, and staff alike—for your dedication, resilience, and support. Together, we are making strides in building a positive school environment.
Thank you,
Dr. Samuels - Principal
Mr. Beckham - Assistant Principal
