January 2021

Dear JAE Families,
Happy New Year!!  I hope that you had a relaxing winter break!  We were so happy to welcome our JAE students and community back to school and have enjoyed reengaging with students after our time off.  

 During the month of January, we will be engaging in different activities to promote kindness.  We will also be participating in the “Great Kindness Challenge” where students will have an opportunity to demonstrate and celebrate kindness within the school community.  In addition, the last week in January we will have themed days in which we invite students to celebrate kindness by dressing up:
• Monday, January 25th:  Kickoff to Kindness-Wear your favorite team gear
• Tuesday, January 26th:  Dream of Kindness-Pajama day
• Wednesday, January 27th:  Kindness is in our Character-Dress like your favorite character (Disney, Cartoon, Superhero, etc.)
• Thursday, January 28th:  Crazy for Kindness-Crazy clothes, socks, hair day
• Friday, January 29th:  School Spirit Day-Wear Rocky Point attire or colors
Throughout the month, we will continue to try to get our students outside for recess and physical education classes as much as possible.  Please make sure your child is in temperature appropriate clothing to participate in outdoor recess and PE classes.  As it gets colder, coats, glove/mittens, and hats will help keep the children warm.  If you could also make sure to label the belongings with your child’s name, this will help in case we find a missing jacket, glove, hat, etc.
We wanted to take a moment to remind you of our upcoming Virtual Parent-Teacher-Conferences.  There will be afternoon conferences on Thursday, January 7th and Friday, January 8th, and evening conferences on Thursday, January 7th.  In order to accommodate the conferences there will be two student half days on Thursday, January 7th and Friday, January 8th with a dismissal time of 10:45, with the student pickup beginning at 10:35.  
Thank you for all that you do for our community and schools!!
Sincerely, 
Scott Bullis, Principal

Dr. Courtney Herbert, Assistant Principal
