Hello JGW Community,
February Vacation is here. We hope the scholars have fun during this break! We will be off all next week Monday the 21st to Friday the 24th. We return to school on Monday February 27th.
Air Pods: Air Pods/headphones are not allowed at JGW. Since the holiday break more and more kids are wearing air pods during the school day. Wearing headphones is a distraction to learning. We will handle Air Pods/Headphones the same way we handle phones. If a staff sees the air pods we take and bring to the office:
- first time scholar gets them back,
- second time- parent pick up,
- third time parents pick up and detention.
Washington DC Fundraiser: Mr. Harris gave information to scholars looking to fundraise today at school so they can set up the on-line popcorn fundraiser over the break. The Monday we come back Mr. Harris will be at school to help troubleshoot any problems. The fundraiser will startTuesday February 28th.
Video Game Club: Beginning Monday, Feb. 27th – the week after break… Mrs. Hamel will have after school VIDEO GAME CLUB on Mondays from 2:45- 3:45. You will need a ride at 3:45. This is open ONLY to grades 5 and 6.
