Hope you had a restful and refreshing weekend! We’ve got a busy week ahead—take a look at this week’s events.
Red Ribbon Week - This week we celebrate Red Ribbon Week across our nation. This week is dedicated to discussing the importance of staying healthy and ways we can take care of our bodies. At school, we’ll engage students with age-appropriate lessons on making healthy choices. There will also be several fun activities throughout the week, including spirit days! A flyer with details on the spirit days and a pledge card was sent home on October 18 . Please check your child's backpack.
Red Ribbon Spirit Days - Red Ribbon Spirit Days are here! Let’s come together to show our spirit and commitment to being drug-free!

Juniper PTA members will receive one wristband for unlimited games, and we’ll also be selling spirit wear if you need any!
Halloween Parade - Please join us for our annual Halloween Parade on October 31st at 8:30am! To ensure our celebration is a safe and happy one, please follow these guidelines:
Costumes:
Encourage costumes that reflect positive characters.
No violent costumes or weapons are allowed.
Masks that block the student’s view when walking should not be worn.
No blood or frightening images.
Students should be able to change out of their costumes independently, without help.
Any costumes that do not follow our guidelines will not be allowed in the parade.
If your child plans to wear a costume, they should come to school already dressed in it. Student’s are required to change out of their costumes immediately after the parade, so please bring a change of clothes as a normal learning day will continue for all students.
Parents: You are welcome to come on campus to enjoy the parade. The gates will open at 8:00 AM
Candy: Students are not permitted to bring candy to school following Halloween
We look forward to seeing everyone at the parade and celebrating together!
Ghost Grams - Ghost Grams are on sale for $1 each! A flyer with instructions on how to purchase was sent home with your child last week, so please be sure to check their backpack for it. Ghost Grams will be delivered to students on Halloween! Don’t miss out on the fun!
School Site Council Meeting - We will be holding our School Site Council meeting on Monday, Oct. 21 at 2:45pm. The School Site Council is a committee of parents, school staff, and community members who collaborate to improve the academic program through the efficient and compliant use of selected funds. Your participation and input are highly valued as we discuss important matters concerning our school. We hope you can join us!
TK & SCSB Family Day at Lunch - We’re excited to announce Family Day at Lunch for TK and SCSB students on October 23. A flyer with parent guidelines and lunch times was sent home last week. We look forward to sharing a wonderful lunch with you!
Every Jaguar Counts Rally - Join us for the Every Jaguar Counts Rally this Friday, October 25 at 8:00 AM! We’ll kick off the day with some fun, and do the Chicken Dance. Hope to see you there and join in the fun!
Lockdown Drill - We will be having a lockdown drill on October 22 at 1:40pm. During a lockdown drill, all students and staff practice the necessary steps to stay safe in case of an emergency. Classrooms are secured, doors are locked, and lights are turned off. Everyone remains quiet and out of sight until the drill is over. These drills are an important part of ensuring our safety and preparedness.
