Kindness Week is HERE!
"No Place For Hate"
This year, Jerabek has adopted the Anti Defamation League's "No Place For Hate" framework, encouraging students and adults to use
the power of positive peer influence to build inclusive and safe schools in which all students can THRIVE.
"No Place For Hate" will be a program practiced and development throughout the school year with activities to address
bias and
bullying and
promote diversity and inclusion through
discussion, active learning, and reflection. For more information, click

Respectful, Responsible & Kind!
We will be specifically celebrating and promoting kindness and tolerance all week long for Kindness Week!
Look to your room parents and teachers for daily activity updates!
Kindness Week will go out with a bang with Family Movie Night Friday. See Below!

2019 - 2020 School Directory
The Jerabek FFO is getting ready to publish the 2019-2020 school directory.
The purpose of the school directory is to connect families in the Jerabek Community. Due to the "Family Rights and Privacy Act of 1974" schools are unable to release any information about students without agreement from their parents/guardians.
We are asking parents/guardians to complete this form by October 15, 2019 in order to be included and receive your free directory.
The directories will NOT be sold by the FFO to any business or company, or released to any individual who is not a verified student at Jerabek or parent/guardian of a registered Jerabek student. Additionally, the directory should not be used for business or political purposes.
You can complete the form online using the link below or by completing a form that is available in the front office.

There are many chances to get on campus and volunteer for our school!
We are currently looking for help in the following areas:
- Scholastic Book Fair (Dr. Seuss Week)
|
|
The FFO holds its board meetings typically the first Friday of every month. Please check the calendar for the meeting schedule. Find the minutes to the meetings at
jerabekffo.org.
