Principal Message - September 3rd

Greetings Husky Families
 
Week One was full of joy and excitement.  Despite the warm weather during the earlier part of the week, temperatures cooled off just in time for our Faces of Jahn pep rally on Friday.  Although we had to move the event indoors, it was still fantastic.  For those who were able to join us, thank you.  Stay tuned for more events throughout the year.  Many thanks to our Friends of Jahn for assisting in making this event a success.  

A big shout out to our entire staff for making our Week One flow with ease.  Every single person in Jahn works tirelessly to make sure our school functions well. Everyone is appreciated for all that they do daily.  Thank you! 

Just a reminder and correction:  Last week I mentioned that our Open House would be held on September 3rd.  Our open house will be on Monday, September 9th from 4 to 5 pm, followed by a parent room representative orientation from 5 to 5:30.  

Please read below for a few updates and reminders.
