Principal Message - August 27th

Greetings Husky Families
 
Day 1 provided our students with plenty of excitement.  If you were on campus yesterday morning, it was clear that parents and students were excited, as well as a few tears shed around separation anxiety.  By the end of the day, it was clear that your children were in the right place.  
 
Thank you for allowing us to cultivate your child’s educational experience.  
 
By the time we end this week, a number of community building activities would have occurred in classrooms.  These activities have a purpose of fostering relationships and allowing students to share their identities.  This type of community building will not only happen this week, but also throughout the school year.  Feel free to ask your children about activities happening in their classrooms to build community.  This is one of many ways we will bring to life our SEL theme for the month of August/September, Building Community.  
 
Just a friendly reminder:  please join us for our first school-wide event this Friday, August 30th.  This event, Faces of Jahn, is our school-wide pep rally.  Faces of Jahn will provide you with an opportunity to meet our staff, as well as see our unique and wonderful community.  Although the event starts at 8:30, our Friends of Jahn will have coffee available for families starting at 8 am.  
 
Check out additional announcements below. 
 
Thankful for you being a part of the Husky family. 
 
Derrick and Manuel
