Welcome Back to School 24-25

The countdown to the 24-25 school year is on!  We are excited to welcome our Jaguars back to the building soon.  This is a busy time of year, so please read through the information below carefully to stay informed.

Welcome Back!
  • Please take some time to check out our Welcome Back Packet HERE which is full of important information for this school year.   
  • Our District is 1:1 with Chromebook devices for every student! Please review the Chromebook Handbook HERE.  Students in grades K-2 will keep their devices at school and students in grades 3-5 will take them back and forth between school and home each day.
  • Our school office has its own email address tj.office@weschools.org that you can utilize instead of sending in paper notes with your child.  
  • Having conversations with your child to review school expectations can be very beneficial. HERE are the expectations for the different areas of our school.  If you are looking for a back to school family activity try choosing two areas to discuss with your child. Ask them how they show "PRIDE" in those areas.  You can also see if your child remembers our "PRIDE Promise"! 

Bus Information & Teacher Assignments

  • It is important that you know your Parent Portal Login, as this will allow you to view your child's teacher and bus route information.
  • If you do not know your Parent Portal Login, please complete THIS FORM and we will email your login information to you as soon as possible.
  • Families will be able to view their child's teacher(s) in the Parent Portal on Friday, August 16th at 3 PM.
  • Like last school year, student bus routes will not be mailed home.  Parents and students will be able to view bus information on August 14th in the Parent and Student Portals by opening the transportation link at the bottom of the menu.  At this time the Portal Phone App does not currently support this feature, so please view bus information by logging into your Portal Account through a web browser on a phone or computer.

Donations
  • Did you do some cleaning over the summer and want somewhere to donate some of those items you no longer need?!  Consider donating to us!
  • We would like to create a space that can be used by students during indoor recess or for rewards and are looking for new or gently used board games, card games, fidget toys, etc.  We are also looking for a basketball pop-a-shot game and/or game table  to make the space really cool.  If you have anything you can donate, please reach out!
