JCS "Turtle Talk"

Week of March 29th

Hi JCS families,

March is ending and April is beginning this week. The rest of the school year is going to quickly fly by and there will be lots of activities from now until the end of the school year. Keep an eye on ParentSquare for information, as well as on the JCS school website, our school Facebook page, and our school Instagram page.

Thank you to the JCS SPO and volunteers for organizing this past week’s Book Fair and for providing dinner for teachers during parent-teacher conferences!

SPO Meeting on Thursday, 4/2

The Solmonese Parent Organization (SPO) is holding a monthly meeting on Thursday, 4/2 at 6PM at J.C. Solmonese School in the 2nd floor Library/Media Center. All parents, guardians, caregivers, teachers, and staff are welcome to attend! Our friends at Champions will be offering childcare for any parents that would like to attend and also need to bring their child.

We encourage parents/guardians to attend SPO meetings in-person, but we also understand that's not an option for everyone. We will also be streaming the meeting live on Google Meet via the link below.
