In the event of a snow day or late start at any point during the school year, I will contact each family via text message or phone call. Any changes to the school day will also be posted on Facebook, on our website, and on the SJSD app before 7 am. If there has been no communication, it will be a regular school day.

Ms. Jen comes in and volunteers every day. She is very helpful, especially in teaching kids reading. Today she got her very own desk.



Happy new year! I hope your break was fantastic. Tomorrow is a teacher work day and school will resume on January 3.
