School Is Open

We have had a great start to school.  It has been wonderful to see everyone after the summer break.
JES students are getting to know each other and are learning the routines in their classrooms.

Convocation

Today we gathered as a supervisory union to celebrate the beginning our the 2013-2014 school year. We were given the challenge meet the needs of all our students especially our students who are living in poverty.  The Secretary of Education, spoke to us about the importance of pre-school education and uses our resources wisely. There was also fun and laughter.

Salad Days

Our new salad bar arrived today. Thanks to PIE for the funding to purchase this great "kid-sized" salad bar.  Also, check out our school garden. We will be able to harvest our own vegetables when school begins in late August.

Safe Route to School

We are making great progress on our sidewalk project at JES. This work is able to happen because JES was awarded a VTrans Safe Route to School Infrastructure grade in July of 2010.  Jericho Elementary School is a silver partner in the Vermont Safe Route to Schools program. This allowed us to apply for the grant. Construction was supposed to occur in the summer of 2012 but had to be postponed due to workload at VTrans as a result of Hurricane Irene. Stop by the school to see our plan to make it safer for walkers and bikers at JES. We expect the project to be completed by August 20th.

Safe Routes

Construction begins on our Safe Routes to School project today. When the project is completed on August 20th, we will have improved access for walkers and bikers to JES.
