John Trumbull Primary School

Good evening families! Another reminder that tomorrow will be our Drive-By Meet and Greet/supply drop off for Green Pod!!! Please swing through the front loop between 1-1:45PM. This week we have experienced close to 150 changes to either PM dismissal or parents of voluntary remote learners stating they want to come back to school. This has caused a lot of extra work and confusion. If you have any changes to transportation they must be received by 11:00AM tomorrow and you must come to school after 12:00PM to pick up the information needed. Remote learners must stay remote until 10/1 when we can re-evaluate and make a plan for your child to return. Parents cannot make a change to parent transport for dismissal any day next week. We cannot accommodate parents who show up unexpectedly to pick up their child next week. I thank you for your understanding. Sincerely, Laura Meka JTPS Principal

Good evening families! Just a reminder that our drive-by meet and greets/supply drop off begin tomorrow. Preschool and yellow pod will be from 9 to 9:45 AM tomorrow. Blue pod will be from 1 to 1:45 PM tomorrow. Green pod will be on Friday from 1-1:45PM.

Good evening families! A message from Mrs. Meka at JTPS! I just wanted to thank you for all your help and support with teachers and staff over the past month of distance-learning. On Friday, May 1 there will not be any new slides. Please take this time to catch up, read, do something mindful with your family or focus on something you would like to learn about. As always stay safe and know that we are sending you lots of love during this difficult time.🥰

We are looking into why kindergarten students are having technical difficulties with signing in to iready. We have been in touch with technical support and they are working to find a resolution. We will be back in touch once this is sorted out. In the meantime iready is one of many viable choices from the bingo board, so students are encouraged to select another activity. Thank you! See you at 7pm on Twitter Live for our story time!

So proud of our WHS #formerjtpscuteness students!
