We were so excited to celebrate one of our favorite Jones traditions—our 4th Grade Clap Out! 🦒💙

As our 4th grade students walked the halls one last time as elementary students, they were cheered on by classmates, staff, and families who have watched them learn, grow, and thrive throughout their years at Jones.

We are so proud of the incredible young people they have become. Their leadership, kindness, perseverance, and school spirit have left a lasting impact on our school community.

While it's hard to say goodbye, we are excited to see all the amazing things that lie ahead! 💙🦒

Congratulations, 4th graders! Keep reaching for new heights and remember to Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Safe wherever your journey takes you.

🏎️ We’re in the Lead going into the Home Stretch! 🏎️

The Jones community has fueled our racecar to the front of the pack in the district's Race to the Finish attendance contest. We’ve been leading the pack, but we can't slow down now!

🏁 How We Win:
The Goal: Have the best attendance in the district each Monday, and with one more Monday left, the stakes are high!

Every Student Counts: Recent wins have come down to mere percentage points, so your child’s attendance makes a huge difference.

🏆 Celebrating Our Victories
A huge thank you to the District Office for joining us at drop-off the last two Mondays to celebrate our back-to-back wins! We hope they’re ready for one more!

See you Monday, Jones families! 🏁✨
