Greetings Mamie Agnes Jones Families!

We have a short, but important week of learning ahead as we approach the mid-way point of the 2nd quarter!  There will be no school this Wednesday, November 11th in recognition of Veterans Day.  We would like to extend our thanks to our families who have and are serving our Country as members of the armed forces.

Attendance is always extremely important as students who are not here miss learning opportunities.  Following this short week, we only have one additional full week prior to the weeklong break over the Thanksgiving holiday.  Upon our return, we head straight into our state progress monitoring testing!

Duval County Public Schools will be hosting a school enrollment expo at the Prime Osborn Center this Saturday, November 14th.  Parents of students in the 5th grade who are considering school choice are highly encouraged to attend to learn more about the options offered through DCPS!

Our Thanksgiving family lunch will take place on Thursday, November 19th. We always love seeing so many of our families joining us for lunch that day!  Students eat free and family members are invited to purchase a lunch for $5.00 each.  Flyers with the menu and your child’s lunch time for that day will be coming home on Monday. Please return the bottom portion of the flyer with the number of additional lunches you plan to purchase that day (one per family with the total number of lunches is fine!).  This helps our cafeteria to plan appropriately!

Looking ahead, we have several dates to note:

Monday, November 16th – 2nd quarter progress reports posted

Wednesday, November 18th – Wellness Wednesday – wear “no bullying” shirts/bracelets

Thursday, November 19th – Family Thanksgiving Lunch (cafeteria)

Thursday, November 19th – Family STEM Night!

November 23rd – 27th – No School – Thanksgiving

As always, we thank you for partnering with us in your child’s education and look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow morning as we continue diving deep into learning!
