Wednesday the 18th is our first early dismissal. We have 13 early dismissals during the school year for parent teacher conferences and/or for professional development for the staff.

It is vital that students are picked up at 12:15 if they have not signed up for activities, or if it is a day when there are no activities. All of the staff goes into afternoon activities and/or professional development after dismissal. If a student is picked up late, it means that a staff member is late for supervising the early dismissal activities and/or parent teacher conferences.
Have a fantastic weekend!

JFK Principal
