PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

Character Education Update:
Our third pillar in our Character Counts education program is RESPONSIBILITY. We will be learning about and practicing this pillar for the months of January and February. Our school counselors will be teaching lessons on responsibility in the classrooms throughout the coming weeks. Students and staff are encouraged to wear GREEN on Monday, January 23rd for RESPONSIBILITY.
Students will learn that responsibility is:
-
Being accountable for your own behavior.
-
Doing things you are supposed to do and accepting the results of your actions.
-
Making good choices.
-
Keeping your word and being dependable so people can count on you.
-
Doing something to the best of your ability.
Ideas to help your child think about responsibility:
-
Brainstorm a list of things that show you are responsible.
-
Learn how to make a simple meal.
-
Make sure to go to bed and get up on time.
-
Learn how to solve conflict in a positive way.
-
Volunteer to do a chore around the house.
Friendly Reminders:
As it continues to be cold outside, we wanted to take a moment to remind families to make sure students are dressed to participate in outdoor recess and/or physical education. Please make sure students come to school with their coats, gloves, and hats, as we will be going outside as often as we can. We also ask that all clothing and accessories be labeled with your child’s name so that misplaced items can be returned.
Please remember that there are two entrances for student drop off. Regardless of the students’ grade level both the third grade entrance and the main entrance should be utilized in the morning. To keep the traffic flowing, your child should use the entrance closest to where you stop in the drop-off lane.
Thank you for all you do for our community, and for making JAE such a wonderful place to be.
Kindly,
Mrs. Linda Greening Mr. Benjamin Paquette
