Mrs. Grant's MSD class from RED had a blast during their recent CBI at Urban Village Gym! They practiced essential community-based skills while building strength and teamwork through play. What a great day of learning!

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.
Happy Holidays from the CO Annex crew!
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. 🎁
Congratulations to Braylon and Jaxsyn for being recognized as November's Bus Students of the Month. Braylon and Jaxsyn were recognized by their drivers Ms. Tammy and Mr. Willie. Great job by all!
All aboard! 🚂

We love seeing our students celebrate the joy of reading! 🗺️
Mrs. Baxter's kindergarten students at JELV are combining phonics with fitness in a game of "Stomp and Spell." They had so much fun mastering their letters and sounds that they asked to play again during indoor recess!
JCS teachers truly know how to make learning come alive! 💡
