We had a great time celebrating JCS teachers and staff today at our "Jump Start to the New Year" staff appreciation event! The new JCS Mobile Learning Lab led the way as teachers and staff from each school enjoyed a break in back-to-school preparations to check out the mobile classroom and meet new superintendent Dr. Chuck Bishop over coffee and tea. Thank you to everyone from our BRE community who joined us in "jump-starting" this new school year. You are going to CRUSH it!
We can't wait to welcome students back to school next Monday, August 21! Did you know you can visit www.jcswv.org/myschoolbus to learn your student's bus information and access required transportation forms? And our dedicated bus operators and aides will contact JCS families throughout the week to answer your transportation-related questions and ease those first-day-of-school jitters!
Today we welcomed back JCS teachers and service personnel to kick off the 2023-24 school year! Buses start rolling for students next Monday, August 21. We can't wait to see you then!
🎉JCS is excited to welcome more than 60 new educators for the 2023-24 school year! We're having so much fun at New Teacher Orientation this week and can't wait to see students on August 21 for a brand new year! 🤩
End of year fun :)
Staff got a chance too! Mr. Gill is such a good sport !
Mr. Gill our Interim Principal getting pie'd in the face !!! Our students raised 1,700 dollars from penny wars for Relay for Life. Our grand total was 3,100!!
BRE fourth graders recently culminated a year-long action project that has us ✨buzzing✨ with excitement! Combining community service with campus beautification, students identified a space on the Blue Ridge Campus to plant a community garden to help protect our native pollinators. By installing bee-friendly plants and a Mason Bee House, they created a 🐝bee-autiful🐝 space to benefit pollinators and their school community alike. Future students will continue to learn from these sustainable efforts by annually harvesting cocoons from the bee house. We'd say that's a pretty buzz-worthy way to end the school year! 🌻
We are so proud of our Blue Ridge graduates !!!! Class of 2023, you are going to do amazing things !
Please join us for an inclusive, sensory friendly, end of year celebration. See the attached flyer for the May 25th event at CTMS.
