Greetings Mamie Agnes Jones Families!
We have made it through the first week of school and we are so excited to have our students back in the building! During this first week, we reviewed rituals and routines, had our code of conduct assemblies, and even had our first fire drill!
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we worked through our power outages. The district has implemented a temporary solution to get us through as the permanent repairs are being completed and will be back to “business as usual” on Monday!
Thank you also for your patience through the first few days of dismissal as everyone gets used to the routine. As a reminder, changes in dismissal must be made by the parent or guardian through the PikMyKid app.
Our first School Advisory Council Meeting for this school year will be held this Monday, August 17th at 4:45 PM in room 8. Agenda items include a review of our bylaws and School Improvement Plan. Anyone is welcome to attend our SAC meetings and we would love to have you come to learn more about what we are doing and to get your feedback and input on how we can continue to improve.
Looking ahead, our patrols will be sponsoring the “Back to School Bash” on Friday, August 28th after school. Flyers with information on purchasing tickets will be going home with students this week. All ticket sales will be completed online and no money will be collected at the school.
Our fall Scholastic book fair will be happening the week of August 31st – September 4th. Bookfair flyers will be sent home in advance to review with your child.
Please mark your calendars and make plans to attend our Open House which will take place on Thursday, September 3rd beginning at 6:00 PM. We will hold our Title I Annual Meeting at 5:30 PM the same night. Attendees for the Title I meeting will have first entry to Open House! The book fair will also be open that evening for families to go and shop!
Thank you for partnering with us in your child’s education here at Mamie Agnes Jones as we “Dive Deep into Learning!”
