JCS Journal

Week of June 8th

Hello JCS families,

This is our last FULL week of school this year. Please see below for the exact last days of school for PreK, Kindergarten, and grades 1-3.

Thank you for a Wonderful Adventure Games on Friday!

Thank you to all of the parent and family volunteers who helped out with Friday’s Adventure Games! It was a wonderful day and the kids all had a terrific time. We never could have offered all of the activities without the assistance of our volunteers and we’re very grateful for your help. Check out some pictures from Friday at the end of this week’s JCS Journal.

Please Let the School Know If Your Family is Moving

If your family is moving this summer (or has already moved) and your child will no longer be attending JCS in the fall, please call the school office at 508-285-0120 or email Mrs. Varney at lvarney@norton.k12.ma.us. We want to make sure to update our records and enrollments for next year AND prepare any student files that need to be sent to another school or district.

Nutritional information for Palagi's Ice Cream Truck on June 10th

As you know, our terrific JCS SPO has arranged for a Palagi's Ice Cream Truck to come to JCS on Tuesday, June 10th to provide a cold, sweet treat to students and staff. The truck will be at JCS during each grade level's recess time to avoid any conflicts with other scheduled classes or activities. We understand how important it is to make sure that families have access to all of the nutritional information of the treats being offered, not just to make sure that there are safe options for students with food allergies and sensitivities, but also for students and staff with medical concerns.

Please find linked below all of the nutritional information for the treats being offered. We are removing one of the options from the paper flyer that was sent home because the option definitely contains peanuts. The options being removed is:
  • Blue Bunny Big Dipper Vanilla Cone (contains peanuts)


We hope this helps all families feel more comfortable making an informed and safe choice for your child. We're grateful to the SPO for providing this fun treat for all JCS students and staff!
