Juniper JournalDiario de JuniperPrincipal's Message

As we enter the month of November, a time dedicated to giving thanks, I want to express my gratitude for our wonderful Juniper community. I am truly thankful for the kindness and support that our students, teachers, and parents continually show one another. Teaching our children the importance of treating others with respect and making positive choices is vital. This month, I challenge our community to embrace the spirit of giving by performing a random act of kindness. Together, let’s make a positive impact and give back to our community!

Veteran’s Day

Veterans Day is on Monday, November 11, and there will be no school in observance of the holiday. We take this time to honor and thank all who have served in the military. Enjoy the day off, and we'll see students back on Tuesday!

Hearing & Vision Screening

On November 19, our District nurses will conduct hearing and vision screenings for students in Kindergarten, 2nd, and 5th grade. These screenings are crucial for identifying any potential issues that may affect your child's learning and development. We encourage all parents to ensure their children are present that day to participate in these important assessments. Thank you for your cooperation in helping us support the health and well-being of our students!

Thanksgiving Break

Thanksgiving Break will be from November 25 to November 29. We hope you enjoy this time with family and take a moment to reflect on all we have to be thankful for. School will resume on Monday, December 2. Have a wonderful holiday!
