Composting at JES

Yes, we did it. Today was our first day of composting in the lunch room. Students did a great job.
Now all our food scraps will go to make compost!  We are so proud of ourselves.

Our School Wide Behavior Plan


We are in the third year of implementing our school wide behavior plan based on the principles of PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports). In our plan, we have three levels of support.
At the first level or the universal level, we have systems in place to support most of our students. These supports include teaching the school rules and routines, recognizing positive behaviors with specific praise, correcting behavior errors and teaching skills for learning. During the first six weeks of school, students are learning the school rules and expectations. Our school rules are: Respect Self, Respect Others, Respect Property and Enjoy Learning Together.
