Greetings, Jenkins Elementary Families,
Welcome Back to School Year 24-25! I hope you had an incredible summer filled with fun, relaxation, and cherished memories and are excited for the new academic year. Our students must ignite their curiosity, embrace new challenges, and strive for excellence. They must remember that each day is an opportunity to shine and positively impact their lives. I am excited to witness their growth and achievements this year.
Our dedicated and caring staff is committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment. We are delighted to welcome students back and continue helping them unlock their full potential. We believe every question leads to new knowledge, every mistake is an opportunity for growth, and every effort takes them closer to their dreams. We are here to support and guide them every step of the way.
As we embark on this new school year, let's reaffirm our commitment to ensuring our students' success and fostering positive social and emotional well-being. Open communication, shared goals, and a strong bond between home and school are key. Regular school attendance is a vital part of this, as it helps students feel better about school and themselves.
Remember, school starts at 9:20 a.m. and ends at 4:00 p.m. Regular attendance is an invaluable skill for success throughout their educational journey. Therefore, it's important that students are on time every day and stay in school until dismissal. Together, we can ensure the best educational journey for your student. We ask that you guide and support your student’s learning by ensuring that he/she:
1. Attends school daily and arrives on time, ready for the day’s learning experience.
2. Completes all homework assignments given by teachers.
3. Reads daily to develop a love for reading and to improve literacy skills.
4. Shares school experiences with you so that you are aware of his/her school life.
5. Informs you if he/she needs additional support in any area or subject.
6. Knows that you expect him/her to succeed in school and go on to college.
Once again, Welcome Back! Let's make this year one to remember!
We are Yellow Jacket STRONG!
