MICHAEL'S MEMO 5/7/18
Good morning staff, I want to be the first to say thank you for all that you do to make JSA the best school. I am fully aware that the teaching profession is often beaten down by the negative incidents of our colleagues. I just want you to know that JSA administration is thankful for all that you do and we will have PTA sponsored days throughout the week! Lunch will be provided on Thursday.


Curriculum focus
As we close in the final 3 weeks remember to focus on finishing strong with a roar and not a whimper. Our learning maps must continue to serve as a guide to student learning in the classrooms.

Behavioral focus
Students must continue to be in uniform at JSA, no exceptions.
Shirts must be tucked in at all times, non JSA jackets are not permitted, student transitions must be monitored and tardies marked to discourage late arrivals to classes.
Thank you to all staff members that continue to provide tips on student situations to keep everyone safe on campus.

Calendar
Middle School Transition Night 5/8/18 6pm – 7pm JSA Cafe
Annual Dance Concert 5/9/18 6:30- 8pm Polk State College

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. Students are allowed to have small bags that are the size of a sheet of paper. Traditional backpacks are not permitted. Administration will do their very best to ensure all backpacks are identified prior to school beginning. If a student comes with a backpack to class, buzz the office and we will come and pick up their bags.  Shout Outs!! Thank you to Mrs. Huyhn, Mrs. Holbert, ...

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. We will continue to push positive change and high expectations for our students at JSA. Our video focuses on embracing change. Academic Focus ELA: STICKY Standards: October 9-13 2-5 U2W1 2 nd is introducing RL.2.5 the structure of narrative text, not limited to identification of beginning-middle-end events.
