Jets, we have some exciting news to share — our delivery of new laptops has arrived on campus! Our school TSR, Mr. Diego has been hard at work making sure the devices are ready for checkout starting on Friday, July 29th. All students and teachers will be receiving new devices this school year. In addition to these new devices clear protective cases will also be provided to all students and teachers. We have not received that delivery yet, but when we do, they will be distributed to everyone in a timely manner to ensure all devices are protected. Linked is a video showing the type of protective cases everyone will be receiving once delivered: https://youtu.be/w1VMIZfNxQk. We are excited to see our Jets on campus Friday, July 29th and Monday, August 1st for device checkout. If you are unable to check out a device during these summer days, you will receive it on the second day of school.
Jets, please also mark your calendars for our Meet the Teacher event on Thursday, August 4th from 5pm-7pm. The school year is fast approaching with the start of school on Wednesday, August 10th just a few weeks away. This edition of Jets in Action has a lot of information for families to assist everyone in preparation for the upcoming school year.
During the first week of school this is a reminder to please be patient. OCPS is currently hiring bus drivers so there may be school bus delays. It is also still summer in Florida and afternoon storms occur, please review the OCPS 30/30 policy which is in place for safety: https://legacyms.ocps.net/parents/30_30_delayed_dismissal.
We are excited for the start of the school year and to see our Jets on campus. Enjoy the rest of your summer and continue reading!

This Week's Motivational Moment! |
|
|
Dr. Benjamin Bloom of the University of Chicago conducted a five-year study of leading artists, athletes, and scholars. It consisted of anonymous interviews with top twenty performers in various fields, including pianists, Olympic swimmers, tennis players, sculptors, mathematicians, and neurologists. That information was supplemented by additional interviews with those people's families and teachers. Bloom and his team of researchers sought to find clues to how these high achievers developed. What they discovered was that drive and ambition — not talent — led to their success.
