Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome to November! Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and we are pausing to count our blessings—and near the top of our list is our wonderful student and parent community! Watching your children grow, learn, and fill our hallways with bright smiles fills us with gratitude every single day.

As we jump into this season, our priority remains creating a joyful environment overflowing with care, inspiration, and high expectations. We are fully committed to nurturing every child’s potential with clear eyes, full hearts, and unwavering hope.

We want to remind all families about our CEP program, which provides free breakfast and lunch for all students daily! Fueling our students with nutritious meals helps them stay focused, active, and ready for great school days.

To help us maintain a safe, inspiring, and consistent learning environment, please review the JC Student Handbook with your child. Strong attendance habits and clear daily routines ensure our students get the most out of each school day. Please also ensure your contact information is up to date in Skyward so our Skyalert notifications reach you seamlessly.

We are deeply thankful for your trust, love, and partnership. Wishing you a warm and wonderful season of gratitude!

Warmest regards,

Principal, Tony Spoores
