Dear Parents and Guardians,

We are off to a fantastic start to the school year at Jefferson Craig Elementary! It has been wonderful seeing our hallways and classrooms filled with energy, smiles, and active learning as our students settle into their daily routines.

As we look toward the rest of these first nine weeks, our main focus is keeping the joy of learning at the forefront of everything we do. Approaching each day with clear eyes, full hearts, and a commitment to our students, we are dedicated to making sure every child feels supported, inspired, and excited to come to school.

To help us finish this first grading period strong, we encourage all families to review the JC Student Handbook to keep expectations aligned regarding attendance, routines, and a safe learning environment. Please also take a moment to ensure your Skyward contact numbers are up to date so you don't miss important Skylert notifications.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Let’s keep this great momentum going for a fantastic finish to our first 9 weeks!

Warmest regards,

Principal, Tony Spoores
