News from our Principal

November 10th, 2022 Update

Hurray for our walkathon! As of today, our students raised over $6300 to benefit our school programming! Four lucky students won the raffle for the $25 gift cards from Target, Amazon, Dick's Sporting Goods, and GameStop. Congrats!

We’ll know later today which class earned the free PJ Day by bringing in the most money/student.

Thanks again to Mrs. Scott for all her planning and to Mr. Brush, Mrs. Hughes, Ms. Yovich, Mrs. Ladner, and Mrs. Linder for being good sports and volunteering to have whipped cream pies thrown at them this past Friday!

Congrats to Ms. Rounds’ seventh grade class for earning the mojo flag this week. They have been working hard to come together as a class as well as working to be good role models!

Hurray to Chima in Mrs. Southall’s class who is her student of the week! We are all proud of his hard work both academically and as a great human being!

Coming soon… Family Math Night on November 17.

The trimester ends Thursday. Please encourage your students to finish up strongly!

I reminded students that the iReady Store would be open next week so they can spend their earnings. Students get one point for every math and reading lesson they pass on iReady to spend at the store each trimester. If you happen to have great items (pencils, snacks, etc) that you’d like to donate to the store, I’d love to have them!

Please be sure ALL bills (tuition, lunch, extended day) are paid so students can receive report cards next week. Contact Peg Dull (pdull@ijpschool.org) if you have questions about tuition or extended day. You can contact Country House at hotlunch@ijpschool.org for lunch account balances.

Also, sign ups for parent-teacher conferences will take place via Sign Up Genius. Watch for the link coming soon. The actual conferences will take place on Monday, November 21 in person here at school from noon until 8pm and virtually on Tuesday, November 22 from 9 until noon. More info will be coming in the next day or two in ClassDojo and be emailed.

Thanks to Julie Cruz, Maura O’Donnell, Greg Brush, and all of their helpers for a successful Trivia Night! Results and pictures will be shared soon! Sounds like a great time was had by all!

Thanks for your support of all the things we have had going on! We are definitely better when we work together!
