Honor Roll Ski Trip - RESCHEDULED. Due to several factors, including weather and uncertain travel conditions tomorrow, we will be rescheduling the Bluewood Ski Trip. We are working on a new date and will communicate it out as soon as all logistics are finalized. If your child was signed up to attend tomorrow, they should now plan on a regular school day. -Mr. P.

Thank you for the countless moments of care and support you provide—not just for our students, but for staff and families as well. Our district is stronger because of you.

Sager Families, in light of recent, national events, I personally want to inform you that our school is dedicated to creating a safe, welcoming environment for every student. This means all students, regardless of immigration status, have the right to attend school under federal law (Plyler v. Doe); immigration enforcement is prohibited on school grounds, ensuring schools remain secure spaces; staff cannot share information with immigration agents or grant access without Superintendent approval; and our SRO prioritizes student safety, not immigration enforcement. We will protect every child’s right to learn and thrive. For more info, contact our district office! -Mr. Plucker, Principal, JSMS

Reminder! Tomorrow 1/16, students will be completing the Winter iReady Diagnostic. The focus tomorrow is Math. Please make sure your child charges and brings their Chromebook. It also wouldn't hurt to have their charger in their backpack, just in case! Remember, any student who either meets their Typical Growth or reaches/maintains/exceeds Grade Level on BOTH Reading and Math diagnostics will get to enjoy an upcoming afternoon Raider Movie Experience!

Thanksgiving is one week away! Our schools will be closed Wednesday - Friday next week to observe the holiday. We will see y'all Monday, December 2nd. Enjoy your break. “Thanksgiving Day is a good day to recommit our energies to giving thanks and just giving.”

This Sunday November 3rd - Fall Back!

Learning is tough work—and kids need fuel if they’re going to learn! That’s why a healthy midday meal is crucial to the growing children who go to school. Since 1962, when President John F. Kennedy created National School Lunch Week (NSLW), this annual observance has promoted the importance of a healthy school lunch in a child’s life and the impact it has both in and out of the classroom.

Reminder! Picture retakes are tomorrow. ¡Recordatorio! Las retomas de fotografías son mañana.
