JCS Secondary Math teachers growing their practices!
Today we’re celebrating National School Resource Officer (SRO) Appreciation Day — and the incredible individuals who help keep our schools safe, supported, and connected.
Our School Resource Officers are more than a badge. They are mentors, protectors, educators, and trusted adults our students can count on every single day. From morning high-fives and classroom safety lessons to quiet conversations when a student needs someone to listen, their impact reaches far beyond the hallways.
👮 Why we’re grateful for our SROs:
Safety First: They help create secure learning environments where students and staff can thrive.
Mentorship: They build meaningful relationships and guide students through challenges.
Daily Impact: They work tirelessly to ensure every child feels seen, heard, and safe.
Thank you to our SROs for being steady, positive forces in our schools. You don’t just patrol our halls — you help shape the future within them. 💙

A massive shout-out to our incredible Custodial and Maintenance crew! ❄️ While the buildings are quiet, these teams are clearing lots and sidewalks, monitoring our facilities, and keeping everything running smoothly in this winter weather.
They work behind the scenes to make sure we’re ready to hit the ground running the moment it's safe to return. Also, how cool is this find? Just further proof that we have the best crew in the state! 🏆

What does it feel like when kindness , good choices, and stellar behavior are recognized by your bus driver and your school?
It looks like this! 🤩
A great school day starts and ends on the bus. Our drivers and monitors are a vital part of our positive behavior team, working alongside our schools to celebrate students who lead with kindness and respect. These two superstars were caught rocking JELV's 5 Steps on the ride to and from school, earning them a free Raising Cane's kids combo. 🍗
Way to go, Otters! Thanks for making your bus ride a better place for everyone. 🚌

Hard work doesn't take a break! JCS Custodial Services spent time this week to level up their skills with specialized training on gym floor resurfacing. Big thank you to Kenway's Ron Redmon for his help leading us through this process and to our team for keeping our facilities in top-tier condition for our students.
JELV's Child Nutrition "family" wish everyone a Merry Christmas!
Ringing in the holiday season with some delicious creativity! Students and staff at our Asbury College Connection Program celebrated with a gingerbread house-making event. These hands-on activities are a perfect way to build community and share a little festive cheer before the break. The wonderful smiles say it all!
Happy Holidays from the CO Annex crew!
The Holiday Spirit in Motion! 🚌
Last night, the incredible teachers and staff from EJMS went above and beyond to bring the holiday spirit directly to their students' doorsteps! 🎄
With a school bus decked out in twinkling lights, their team set off through neighborhoods to spread some serious cheer. From singing festive carols to handing out steaming cups of hot chocolate, it was an evening filled with smiles, songs, and, two of the best gifts we could've asked for, family and community. 🎁
