When your child(ren) will be tardy or absent PLEASE remember to call the attendance line OR enter them online though the absence request link which is found on our website home page. We always want to make sure students are accounted for in our system and building. When we don’t hear from you the absences show up as unexcused, which if we did an attendance audit could eventually lead to a truancy letter being sent. We want all students to be at school as much as possible, higher attendance rates lead to higher academic success.

If you are not already enrolled in Eagle Care and are interested in your child attending for the 2025-2026 school year, please contact Carol Wilson at cwilson@jajags.com with your child’s information and days and sessions ( before care/after care) you are interested in.

Just a quick reminder to send your child with a water bottle to school each day. We've had ALOT of forgotten water bottles this month, and we’ve gone through an entire case of disposable water bottles since the beginning of January.
In a school community, being invested in educational partnerships and intellectual curiosity means fostering strong relationships between students, educators, families, and the wider community to create a dynamic learning environment. Here are some ways we can live out this core value.
Collaborate- At school we give students opportunities to work in groups. Giving students space to have meaningful conversation about the topic at hand helps them really understand other points of view. This can also be done at home by you or siblings sharing ideas. Shared learning experiences can inspire curiosity and a passion for knowledge.
Real world connections- To ensure that learning extends beyond the classroom, preparing students to think critically, ask thoughtful questions, and contribute meaningfully to the world around them. When you are talking with your child about what they are learning, think about and share how those topics and skills are useful in the real world.
Stay informed-Read all school communications. Sit down with your child(ren) and read what is sent home in Friday Folders or class emails by teachers. This will help strengthen the connection between home, school and community.
Volunteer- Volunteer for field trips, classroom support or events. We also love when parents, guardians, or community members have a special skill they want to share with our students. Please reach out to classroom teachers if that is you.
