    Attendance Matters

    Parents are always asking, "What can we do to help the school?" Did you know that attendance is a part of our state report card grade each year? The best help we can receive from our families is to practice healthy habits towards good attendance.  Good attendance is key to success in school in both Reading and Math.  Help us help you by working hard to be at school on time all day every day.  Besides....it's just a better place with you around at JSJ!  See you at school!
