Car Line Reminders
Morning car line has been moving fairly smoothly, but please have your child unbuckle his or her five-point harness before pulling up to let out your child. If your child cannot unbuckle it, pull over into a parking space and unbuckle it for them.
For everyone's safety, refrain from using your mobile phone while in the car line.
Observe the speed limit and follow the directions given by our traffic officer on Hixson Pike.
Follow the car line routes in the morning and afternoons. Do not cut through other lanes in the parking lot.
In the mornings, parking in front of the Early Childhood Center is reserved for JPK families, who are required to park and walk in their children.
Place your carpool signs on your dashboard in the afternoon. If you do not have a sign, please contact Brooke Moore.
Finally, avoid the rush! Arrive at school at 7:30 a.m. and 3:20 p.m. in the afternoon when there is less traffic.
Box Tops "Bonanza"
Bring in all those Box Tops you have been collecting over the summer and turn them in to the office by September 8. Please put them in a bag labeled with your child's name and grade. Students who bring the most Box Tops will receive Bonanza-related prizes. Winners will be announced and prizes will be awarded on September 15. The overall school winner receives the choice of a jazzy jar or cake from the cakewalk and 10 Bonanza tickets. Each grade level winner will receive 10 Bonanza tickets. Our goal this year is to collect 12,000 Box Tops, which equals $1,200, to pay for the new water filling station next to the gym.
