Defense of Learning Presentations will be held this Friday. Forms were sent home Friday with your child's time and room location explaining that only one adult is able to attend. You must be on time or you will not be permitted inside- as Defense time is limited and we want to limit interruptions for our students.

Thank you,

✨ PEACE IN THE CHAOS | Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential.

JCPS families came together last week for an evening filled with food, games, and hands-on self-care resources designed to help everyone discover simple, meaningful ways to create inner peace. From laughter and connection to practical tools to take home, this event was all about caring for ourselves and each other.

Because when families feel supported, our whole community grows stronger.
