Hello JCS families,
Last week was a lot of fun with our school “Pink Out” and costume celebrations. It was a really wonderful show of school spirit and it was great to see staff and students enjoying the days together. Also, thank you to the SPO for providing freeze pops for all students during lunch last Monday!

Don’t Forget to Set Your Clocks Back 1-Hour!
|
Today is the end of Daylight Saving Time and we set our clocks back one hour. Most of our clocks now change themselves (phones, tablets, computers, etc.), but there may be a few that we need to change manually. Changing the clocks often throws all of us off for a few days in terms of our daily routines. It's to be expected that students may have some challenges over the next few days until they get used to the time change and we all may need a little extra support! |

Lifetouch will be at JCS offering school picture retakes this Thursday, 11/7, for any students who missed the first school picture day or whose family would like to have their picture retaken. If any family still needs the paperwork from Lifetouch, please have your child ask their classroom teacher and the school office will make sure to provide it. |

Parents/Family Members Who Are Veterans
|
Monday, November 11th is Veterans Day and there is no school. We are looking to celebrate together as a school community this Friday. We are planning to have a short ceremony on Friday morning, November 8th at 9:45 AM shortly after student arrival. If the weather is clear, we will gather outside the front of the school near our flag pole to say the pledge of allegiance together and engage in a moment of silence. NHS musicians will be joining us for the playing of “Taps”. If it is raining, we will gather together in the gym.
We would like to invite any JCS parents or grandparents who are veterans to join us on Friday morning on November 8th for this quick school celebration so that we can acknowledge and honor you as part of our ceremony. My own father was an Army veteran of the Vietnam War who received a Purple Heart and Bronze Star and I understand how important it is for all of us to thank and honor our veterans all throughout the year, especially on Veterans Day.
If you as a parent would be interested in joining us, please let Mr. Barrette know by sending me a quick email at pbarrette@norton.k12.ma.us. We would love to have JCS veterans join us on this special morning.
