JCS Journal

Week of January 5th

Hello JCS families,

It’s our first full week of school this New Year and our goal is to be right back in all of our regular routines. It does look like this week is going to be very cold, so we encourage students to come to school prepared for outdoor recess. All of the information about outdoor recess procedures during cold weather can be found at https://bit.ly/JCSColdWeatherRecess.

Weekly Ice Cream Sales During Lunch Will Resume this Thursday 1/9

We plan to restart weekly ice cream sales during lunch this Thursday, 1/9.

A reminder that families that are interested in providing an approved snack for their child’s birthday can reach out to Chartwells Food Service by contacting Mike Vaccaro at mvaccaro@norton.k12.ma.us to inquire about purchasing ice cream on a specific Thursday for the students in your child’s classroom during lunch. Here’s a link to the district's Wellness Policy in its entirety, https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EpCJWJSxpzLqqv3D7yLe9tG7McuqV6sL/view?usp=sharing

School Communication with Families

As we continue the new year, we want to continue to work hard to communicate with families in a variety of ways. In addition to regular email, phone calls, and meetings, here are all of the other ways available for our school and families to communicate with each other and share important information.
