REMINDER: Parent Input Form For Students Attending SJLES Next School Year

Our SJLES staff has already begun planning and preparing for the 2021-2022 school year. As part of this process, we would like to provide you the opportunity to share insights you would like us to consider as we begin the articulation process. This input form is for you, as parents, to relate specific information about your child that you feel would be beneficial as our staff collaborates to create next year's classes. Our goal of this process is to build heterogeneous classes which foster the academic success and social-emotional well-being of each student in an inclusive and nurturing environment that closes opportunity gaps. Please consider completing our SJLES Parent Input Form 2021-2022 by May 28th in order to provide us with valuable insights regarding your Jaguar(s).

REPEATED NEWS

Spring Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) Assessments 5/19 & 5/26

SJLES students in grades 1-5 will participate in MAP testing on Wednesday 5/19 from 9:00am - 11:00am (Reading) & Wednesday May 26th from 9:00am - 11:00am (Math). MAP Growth helps teachers understand what your child knows today, so goals can be set to improve growth throughout the year.

These data points will not affect your child’s grades. In fact, it’s normal to only answer about half the questions correctly. To ensure accurate results, your child should answer the questions independently. Please feel free to contact Mrs. Redd via email (alexcia_redd@hcpss.org) if you have any questions or concerns.

5th Grade Send Off Activities

The class of 2021 is nearing the conclusion of their time here at SJLES. The 5th grade committee is planning send off activities for a special conclusion for the 5th graders. See our website for all the fun information.

If you would like to make a donation to support the activities, you can donate here online, send a check (made payable to SJLES PTA, in an envelope marked 5th grade activities) into school with your child, or drop it off at the front desk.

If you are interested in volunteering, or have any questions, please contact Teri Stevens (terimstevens@gmail.com) and April Baer (April.baer1@gmail.com), 5th Grade Parent Volunteers.
