Dear JES family and friends,

Our Core Essential character value for November is HONOR which is defined as letting someone know you see how valuable they are. We will be talking about HONOR in Counseling lessons. HONOR is an important character value that can easily be reinforce at home. Share with your child what honor means to you. Your children are listening. When we work together our children make twice the progress. 


Come Help Celebrate Our Veterans
 On November 11th, we will be celebrating Veteran's Day with a Breakfast and program. Please join us at JES for breakfast at 7:40 and the performance by our students at 8:15.

Join us at the Multicultural Showcase Potluck on November 7th! We will all be gathering at Rockenbaugh Elementary. What a wonderful opportunities for families to share, learn, and enjoy!

 ANGEL TREE

Our traditional angel tree will be decorated in the front office before we leave on Thanksgiving Break. Each year, we have our own Angel Tree to provide for children at Johnson.  If you are able to help, I hope you will choose an angel and make it a family project of showing gratitude and compassion for those families at Johnson who can use our help.

The Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) and Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) was completed for all fourth grade students. Make ups are complete. The results will be sent home around mid semester.
As always, if I can assist you in any way, please call.

Kindest regards,

Ziba Johnston 
Counselor
