Happy Spring!

We have a VERY busy STAR-filled week ahead of us!  We have StarStruck, Spring Pictures and,  Awards Assemblies, not to mention a fire drill that will be thrown into the mix!  Our Stars have been working very hard practicing their dances and are READY to perform!  The dances have been created so that each Star shines and it is important that they stay for BOTH performances.  We appreciate your flexibility!  If you have not purchased tickets for this Star Studded Event ticket are available in the office during office hours, 7:30 am - 4:00 pm; TICKETS WILL NOT BE SOLD AT THE DOOR.

STUDENT SAFETY: Please remember that the loop is for drop off and pick up.  Please ensure that there is a fluid movement of traffic and that you are pulling up to the front if the loop to pick up your child.  Please do not ask your child to walk to the end of the loop for pick up and then pull out to to the flow of traffic.  This creates a safety issue with people who are crossing the parking lots.  The staff has been instructed to hold students at the front of the loop for their safety and for the safety of pedestrians.  Thank you for looking out for the safety of ALL of our Stars.

Bike and Scooters:  Please remind your Star that if they are riding their bike or scooter to school that they must wear a helmet and that they need to WALK their bike while on campus.  

Thank you for your collaboration and dedication to our TJ community!

💙,
Mrs. Acke
