JCS Journal

Week of April 27th

Hello JCS families,

We hope that our students, teachers, and staff enjoyed the April Break and we're looking forward to welcoming everyone back to school on Monday. Believe it or not, we only have just over 7 weeks of school left this year, so we're entering the home stretch!

Continuing Focus on Student Attendance

As we enter the final two months of school, it's important that we all continue to work together to focus on making sure that students are at school and on-time each day. If any family has questions or is having issues getting their child to school on-time, every day, please reach out to your child's teacher and/or Mr. Barrette and we will work with you to figure out ways to work with you and support your child. Thank you for working with us in prioritizing attendance with your child!

SPO Meeting on Thursday, 5/1

The Solmonese Parent Organization (SPO) is holding a monthly meeting on Thursday, 5/1 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, but 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.

Norton Middle School will be the host site of the Summer Enrichment Program. All students may be dropped off at NMS between 8:45am-8:55am. Each morning, a parent or family representative must bring the K-4 students to be checked into NMS. Students entering Grades 5 and up do not need a parent or family representative to check them in. Attendance will be taken each day at 9:00am. Once the day begins, your child may not leave without permission. Students must stay within school boundaries and remain in registered sessions until release at the end of each day.
