Getting the Message out!
The Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy.
Don't Be TARDY! Students can not be dropped off before 7:20am. Tardy Bell rings at 7:45am.
Must have photo ID to check out a student. NO Check-outs after 2:30pm
Starting immediately, we will begin to strictly enforce our unexcused tardy and early withdrawal policy. Upon 3 tardies and/or early withdrawals, your student will be required to serve after school detention. Tardies and early withdrawal will automatically be marked as unexcused. A medical excuse must be returned to your student's teacher or the school office in order to be marked excused. All other tardies and/or early withdrawals must have principal approval requested by letter in order to be excused.

Butterflies Take Flight
Over the last several weeks, students in Mrs. Cyndy Hancock's 1st grade class have observed and studied the life cycle of butterflies, "Metamorphosis". In a matter of a few weeks students watched as the butterflies went from an egg, to a caterpillar, to a chrysalis, to a beautiful butterfly. Students expressed that getting to see the life cycle helped them understand the different stages. They were also very excited to released their butterflies! NEJ Correct Response Students Encourage EJE!
Recently, the NEJ Correct Response students visited EJE. They wanted to encourage our EJE Tiger Cubs by placing motivational testing posters in the hallways. Good Luck on the MCT2 tests!
East Jones Elementary is pleased to announce another successful completion of the Math-A-Thon fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Math-A-Thon is an educationally base fundraising program in which students obtain sponsors for the number of math problems completed in special workbooks provided for the students in grades K-6th. The students who participate in the program learn to do more than just math problems; they also learn the importance of helping children who are less fortunate than them. The individual raising the most money is Shelby Welborn, 6th grade in Mrs. Anita Clark's class. Shelby raised $293.00. Second and third place goes to James Bazel 4th grade in Mrs. Shirley Sellers class and Brooklyn Haigler 3rd grade in Mrs. Delayne Holder class. The classroom with the most donations is 6th Mrs. Anita Clark. Other classrooms donating were Shirley Sellers, Pam Walters, Susan Merritt, Destiny Shows, Donna Smith and Sharon Williams. With this year’s contributions added to the previous years of Math-A-Thon fundraising our Grand Total is over $24,000.00! Way to go East Jones Tiger Cubs! Submitted by: Lisa Nix
