This week’s Unity Week activities were highlighted Thursday when Jordan hosted the Special Olympics Soccer Tournament! Our own students from Jordan and other PAUSD schools, as well as another district’s came to play each other all morning. Many of our Jordan students came out to cheer and wave signs, and also served as refs, coaches or field support. It was a great event! Halloween is upon us next week, and I wanted to provide information you need to help your students make good decisions about costumes they wear to school. We need your help in ensuring that they meet the following expectations:
Vandalism at Jordan I am sorry to report that this week at Jordan, we endured two significant acts of vandalism. Monday, our front door locks as well as other doors on campus were super glued. All doors and locks had to be cleaned and replaced by district personnel over two days. Friday late afternoon/evening, Mr. Gralen’s art room was broken into and paint was thrown all over the room, covering floors, tables and computers. Also, the outside wall and trash cans were sprayed with paint. We are quite upset about the purposeful damage to school and senseless disrespect of a beautiful environment, and have filed a police report. Please let me know directly (vroyalteyquandt@pasud.org) if you or your student has any information about these events. I would imagine that students coming home with paint on their shoes or clothing would be suspect. JORDAN CHALLENGE DAYS JANUARY 18 & FEBRUARY 27, 2018 WHAT IS CHALLENGE DAY?
The recruitment process for participants will take place in November. More information will be forthcoming soon. November 9: Jordan Parent Visitation Day Parents are welcome to visit classrooms and see all aspects of the school. We ask that you follow these guidelines:
We will have more information for you next week. Gratitude! To all of the many parents, coaches, teachers, site and district administrators aides and support providers who helped bring the Special Olympics Soccer Tournament to Jordan this week! It was definitely a team effort. BIG gratitude to Cameron and Dante who organized the entire event! |
