Good Morning, I would like to say congratulations to our Band Students and Director Mr. Smith for receiving SUPERIORS this weekend and band MPA. Thank you for all of the hard work that you put in to ensure that our students get the very best exposure and education in band. Second, I would like to say another congratulations to Mrs. Haigler and Ms. Mills for the magnificent job they did over the weekend at the Dance Gala at DSA. Our instructors are setting the world on fire right now and I appreciate them so much. Please give a compliment if you see any of the students and instructors on campus today. Today's video displays the power of outlook and the effects it has on society.



ACADEMIC FOCUS 
As we lead up to spring break it is imperative that we continue quality instruction and preparing our students to learn on a daily basis. We must refrain from level 1 activities and video teaching in the week leading up to the break.

Wednesday we will have training on the SAO's during early release in the JSA Cafe. It is mandatory, please do not make any appointments or conferences for the date. If you have any conferences scheduled, they must be rescheduled.

BEHAVIOR FOCUS
Please make sure that we are continuing to monitor non uniform jackets and tops. If there is an issue with an electronic device, please contact the front office. We do not want teachers getting into confrontations over electronic devices.
Students should remain in class, unless it is an emergency. Students should not leave class in order to retrieve their JAC Cards or to run errands, unless it is attendance sheets for main office.
Please make sure that students are following the school policies on food/candy/drinks in the classroom.

MICHAEL'S MEMO  Good morning, I would like to say thank you to all of our staff for all of the hard work put forth in each grade level to prepare our students for the assessment season. Everyone places a hand and has a level of influence on the outcomes of all of our students. We continue our journey with FSA starting today for 4th, 5th and 6th grade students. Please stop by the 5th grade hallway and breakfast to encourage our students for their FSA testing. It's important that we stay positive and build up our students and serve as their cheerleaders. Build up students' self confidence through your instructional practices allowing the students the opportunity to believe in themselves to accomplish any goal. Relax, take a deep breathe, and teach like your life depended upon it for the remainder of the year.  Curriculum Update We will focus on covering the proper items in Math and Science.  MATH: Ensure that all modules / standards have been taught prior to ...

Michael's Memo 5/21/18 Good evening, we embark on our final week of school. I want to say thank you to everyone that put their all into making JSA the greatest school in Polk County. I truly believe that our family is doing a great job and I want to thank everyone for all of the sacrifices made this year. Thank you for ensuring that our students had the opportunity to see a smiling and caring face daily, providing sound instruction daily, ensuring student safety throughout the day, and supporting the administration in our initiatives and programs.  I want to reiterate the backpack rule.

MM 10/9/17 Good evening staff, I am so proud of the consistency of standards based instruction occurring on campus. We will continue to support the staff here at JSA. We want to continue to push our students with love, support, and high expectations. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.
