We made it! I was so excited to see everyone on Monday morning! It was nice to enjoy our first week back after a long break. At this time, we do not have any more Traditional Snow Days. We will be transitioning to our Non-Traditional Instructional Days or NTID. These will occur days 6-10 of the next round of inclement weather. We are asking you to be prepared. Teachers have worked hard to create choice boards with skills that students are currently working on. All instruction will be asynchronous for K-2 students, therefore no devices will go home. Your child's teacher will be sending home all of this information with your child as well as posting this information canvas. Should you have questions or concerns, all teachers will have office hours on the NTID and will be easily accessible via Teams. I will also be accessible via teams or e mail. We look forward to continuing learning even in inclement weather with your child!
Report cards for the second quarter were sent home today along with letters regarding Parent Teacher Conferences on Feb. 6.

🦌🎁 PJE Kindergarteners take a jolly job at Santa's workshop! In the week leading up to Winter Break, kindergarteners at Page Jackson Elementary learned all about job applications by applying to be elves at the North Pole! Our little learners filled out their own applications, faxed them off, and—voilà!—the next day, they received a huge package from Santa's workshop! The kindergarten elves got to work right away, wrapping gifts, making reindeer food, and preparing sweet treats. They even received elf photo I.D. badges with a customary jingle bell! With Santa's big journey just days away, we’re sure he's thankful for the extra help this holiday season! ✨🎅
The Page Jackson staff wishes you and yours a happy holiday season and warm winter wishes for a relaxing break!
As we end the second quarter and push into the second semester we want to praise our students on all of their hard work. School is hard. It is not something that is easy. There are expectations academically, socially, and physically. There are days when you have less choices and days when we have fun while learning. Please review our expectations with your children over the break. We expect them to be safe and respect the safety of others. We expect them to be respectful even when they may disagree. We expect them to try even when it is hard. We are here to help theme when it is too hard or they are having a rough day.
As a reminder, coming to school daily on time is important. Your child is late if they are not in the building by 9 a.m. Our front doors close at 9 a.m. and once the doors are closed you are expected to come in and sign in your child. Please make sure you have your photo ID at all times.
We can't wait to see all 2025 brings!
Happy New Year and see you on January 6, 2025!
