Principal’s Message
All JBN events are on the JBN Parent calendar JB Nelson Families, It is so hard to believe that we are ending the 2023.24 school year! Thank you to all parents that came and volunteered at field day yesterday. We could not do it without your support! Our staff has enjoyed learning and growing with your children this year and are already looking ahead and getting excited about the next school year. If you forgot to order your child a yearbook it’s not too late! Use this link and enter JB Nelson to order one and it will be delivered to your house! Trimester Reflections will be completed by teachers by the end of their work day on May 28th and will be made available to parents on Powerschool on May 30th. Our Specials team (Art, Music and PE) collaborated for a third Trimester Celebration this week. All 1st-5th grade “Teamed Up” today to have an end of Trimester Celebration. Students worked with students from their grade level in small groups. Students got to choose their group and design a “legacy square” on our sidewalk. Each group had to communicate and plan their message before working. They focused on listening, verbal communication skills, and teamwork! Please check out their final newsletter of the school year: Link to Specials team third trimester newsletter I hope that you all enjoy your summer adventures and we look forward to welcoming you back for our Welcome back Ice Cream Social on Tuesday, August 13th from 4:30-5:30. Save the date! ~Mrs. Prentiss |
