Hi JCS families,
Last week was a lot of fun with the JCS costume parades. It was a really wonderful show of school spirit and it was great to see staff and students enjoying the day together.

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 and everyone may need a little extra support. It's to be expected that students may have some challenges over the next few days until they get used to the time change. |

Wednesday, November 11th is Veterans Day and we are looking to celebrate together as a school community. We are planning to have a short ceremony on Tuesday morning, November 10th at 9:30 AM shortly after K-3 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. If it is raining, we will gather together in the gym.
We would like to invite any JCS parents who are veterans to join us on Tuesday morning, November 10th 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.
