WEEKLY UPDATE

|
Welcome back families, both old and new.
As we head into the year, the FFO is excited to provide funding for so many continued traditions and staff support.
Our FFO dollars go directly back to the classroom and our students, including such programs as phonics, art, library, STEAM, campus aides, and staff support.
Our extra-curricular community events have become a great joy for our students year after year, including science, math and art nights, movie night, date nights, and so much more!
All of this is only possible from year to year with the generosity of all of our Jerabek families.
The FFO will again ask for your support in the form of time and financial contributions.
Many hands truly do make light work and your monetary donations are also vital to the programs that enrich our school.
Please watch for more information to come.
I look forward to serving this year as your FFO President.
With so many ways to help on campus and in the classroom, it is easy to get involved.
If you'd like help finding your way to volunteer, or I can help answer any questions, please email me at
jerabekffopresident@gmail.com
.
Most Sincerely,
Shana Kinnerup
Jerabek FFO President

Pick Up/Drop off &

Please be cautious, aware, and patient while dropping off and parking to walk in with your students. Remember, safety comes first!
Here are some important reminders:
- The school parking lot will be closed and blocked during drop-off and pickup times.
- The west side of Avenida Magnifica, along the school's fence line, is for drop off and pickup only. This is NOT a parking area.
- If you need to stop, get out, or assist your children in any way, please consider parking to ensure smooth flow in the drop off/pick up line.
- Please always pull forward to allow enough space for other cars to pull up to the curb in the back of the line.
- Visitor spots in the school parking lot are 5 minute zones.
