Second Grade and Mr. Newsome's Class kicked off their Flat Stanley Project at the Post Office this week! Through this fun literacy project, students are bringing reading to life while learning about different places, communities, and cultures! 📚🗺️
Flat Stanley reminds us that learning doesn't have to stay inside the classroom. Sometimes the biggest adventures begin with a good book and a little imagination! 💌
We love seeing our little Cavaliers making connections between reading and the real world!

📬✉️ Special Delivery: Career Exploration at the Post Office! 💚📦
Our Burdine Elementary primary students had a wonderful opportunity to explore careers during a visit to the local post office, sponsored by GEAR UP! 📮
Students learned about the important roles postal workers play in our community, explored how mail travels from one place to another, and discovered the responsibilities involved in keeping our mail moving!
These hands-on experiences help our youngest Cavaliers begin thinking about their futures and the many career opportunities available to them! 🌟
A special thank you to GEAR UP for sponsoring this experience and to our local post office for welcoming our students and helping bring career exploration to life!
💚 Big dreams start with little learners!

Kindergarten and first grade don’t forget about the Pumpkin Patch Field Trip tomorrow! Students need to be at school no later than 7:20 so they can eat and load the bus. This trip has a tight schedule, so busses can be back by the end of the day, so be on time. Remember to wear comfortable clothes and shoes, so you can enjoy the Pumpkin Patch.
📅 PLAN AHEAD, CAVS! UPCOMING DISTRICT BREAKS 🗓️
Help us keep our Cavaliers in class and learning by using our scheduled school breaks for appointments, errands, and family trips whenever possible!
When students attend every day, they build strong momentum, stay on track, and don't miss out on special classroom activities or attendance perks. Take a look at our upcoming days off to help plan your family's schedule for the rest of the school year!
📆 UPCOMING DATES TO PLAN AHEAD FOR:
🗳️ Election Day: Nov 2–3
🦃 Thanksgiving Break: Nov 23–27
❄️ Winter Break: Dec 19 – Jan 4
🕊️ Martin Luther King, Jr. Day: Jan 18
🏖️ Spring Break: March 22–26
🎓 Last Day of School: May 21, 2027
QUICK ATTENDANCE TIP: If an appointment during a school day is unavoidable, try scheduling it for early morning or late afternoon so your Cavalier only misses a portion of the day rather than the whole day! Always remember to send in an excuse note to the main office upon returning.
Thank you for partnering with us to build strong attendance habits across Jenkins Independent!
