Happy Remote Learning Day today! Don't forget to have your child bring back their laptops on Monday, Oct. 25th! Check your email later today for the School Newsletter and information about Red Ribbon Week next week. Happy Weekend!
SES Families,
This morning a transformer in a nearby neighborhood blew, creating a loud noise similar to a gunshot. Our staff immediately brought all students inside the building while administrators contacted law enforcement. A police investigation determined the source of the noise and that students or staff were not in danger. The transformer issue did not disrupt power at the school.
We applaud our staff for their quick action in the interest of student safety and are proud of how our students conducted themselves during this stressful time. Thank you to our partners in law enforcement for their response and all they do to keep us safe.
Monday, October 11, 2021 is a School Holiday for Students!

I would like to apologize for the confusion associated with the JCS Attendance County-Wide System. There was a glitch in the system where every elementary family received a phone call about their child being absent. The office staff was frantically trying to answer the phone calls as they could. The phones were ringing off the hook and all four office personnel were trying as quickly as they could to respond to parents who received this call. It was a difficult time for parents and school personnel. Thank you for your continued support.
PLEASE THROW AWAY THE LUNCH MENU THAT WAS SENT HOME TODAY. JCS HAS UPDATED THE MENU. IT IS LISTED ON THE JCS WEBPAGE AS WELL. A NEW MENU WILL BE SENT HOME TOMORROW. LUNCH TOMORROW IS PEPPERONI PIZZA.
Monday, August 23, 2021 is the first day of school! Arrrrr...you ready? The school staff is excited to welcome your children back to school. It will certainly be "All Hands-On Deck" on Monday ensuring a successful first day of school. Thank you for your grace and flexibility as we all work our way through all the new routines with you and your children.
