Our Kindergarteners will be learning and mastering colors over the next few weeks. Let's support them each Friday by wearing the color they are talking about each week. This first Friday we would love our staff, students and families at JES to wear as much Red as possible.
Parent Drop-off Procedures
1. Drivers must come in to the school off of 315 southbound, turn right on Strickland Road and then right into the parent parking lot. (Those heading east on Strickland should not turn into the school.)
2. Once you are safely off of the highway, please make sure your children are ready to get out of the vehicle.
3. The lines are two lanes until you get to the area just before drop off where you must merge. Please merge appropriately.
4. Students should only get out of the car once they are past the fence at the sidewalk.
5. Students should exit quickly with the assistance of employees. Employees must leave their post at 7:50 to report to their duty areas for student coverage.
6. When leaving the parking lot, vehicles must turn RIGHT on Strickland Road. (There will be no left turns out of the parking lot during drop-off or pick-up.). Once you turn right on Strickland, you will then take a right on Francis. From there, if you need to go back to 315, you will turn right on Tremont and it will take you to 315. If you need to go to Hwy 20, continue on Francis to 20.
7. Students must stay in their cars until they are the first 5 cars in the line and being released. No student can walk across the parking lot.
8. Students cannot be dropped off on 315 or Strickland to walk up to the school.
9. Only those who live within a 2-mile radius of the school can be walkers. Walkers must come across with the crossing guard. There are some who come from Strickland Road and they walk to the employees who are aware at the sidewalk. THIS IS IMPORTANT.
Please, DO NOT MAKE U-TURNS on Hwy 315 in front of or near the school. This is dangerous as there are many cars on the road.
Parent Pick-up Procedures
1. Drivers must come in to the school off of 315 southbound, turn right on Strickland Road and then right into the parent parking lot. (Those heading east on Strickland should not turn into the school.)
2. Before turning into school, you must display the number assigned to your family for pick-up. This number must be displayed until you leave the parking lot.
3. Employees cannot buckle students in. If you need to buckle your child in, please move forward and pull off to the side once you are out of the pickup line and before you leave the campus.
4. When leaving the parking lot, vehicles must turn RIGHT on Strickland Road. (There will be no left turns out of the parking lot during drop-off or pick-up.)
5. If you are picking up a student and do not have the number, you will be asked to park and wait till parent pick-up is complete. You will then need to proceed to the office and provide ID to check a child out. You must be listed on the child’s information papers.
3rd Grade Parents will come at 9:00 and meet in the cafeteria for a brief meeting before you get your child's schedule. You will visit the classroom after that.
From 10:00-2:00 we encourage all Pre-K ESE, Kg, 2nd, 4th and 5th graders and families to come any time. At 2:00 we will have the 1st grade parents in the cafeteria for a brief meeting. You will then get to go to your child's classroom. At 3:00 PM, 6th grade parents will have a brief meeting. We will not be registering new students on Thursday. You will have to come on Friday to register a new student.
Below is the link to our Family Handbook. Please take a look at it so you are aware of our policies and procedures. Hopefully this will answer any questions you have but you can always call the school if you need more information.
