Dear Families,
Tuesday Mike Cannon, Team Leader for Colchester Technical Rescue, and WSD School Resource Officer (SRO) Jason Ziter talked to each grade level about water safety. They emphasised the importance of staying away from the river. The Winooski River is a fast moving body of water with a strong current. It is not safe for students to play on the shore or swim in the river.
June 17th is our 5th grade BBQ. This is a time for our 5th grade students and their families to come together to celebrate their time at JFK. The event starts at 5pm in the cafeteria with dinner, and then moves to the PAC for the certificates This part of the event ends at 7pm. There is a PTO sponsored dance after the event for the students. Kate Grodin, WMS principal, and Amanda Spencer, WMS School Counselor, will be in the lobby prior to the BBQ with information for families about 6th grade.
June 18th is our All School Celebration. Students are outside for a large portion of the day. If it rains, we will move things inside. Please be sure to send your student to school that day prepared to be outside for the day; hat, sunscreen, water bottle, appropriate shoes, etc.
June 19th is our last students day. ALL students are dismissed at 11am through the main exit at JFK. Kindergarteners will also be dismissed through the exit on the JFK side. Please make sure that your child is picked up at 11am or has plans to walk home. There is no supervision for students after 11am.
Have a great weekend!
Sara Raabe
JFK Principal
