It is now a TJS tradition to set up 1 block of Luminaria Candle Bags on 3rd Avenue.
Please sign up below to help out. It is a really fun way to get together, give back and it takes very little time! We need about 20 volunteers per task but the more helpers-the faster it will go!
Also...there will be coco and cookies! SIGN UP TO HELP

After working with a self-organized community group, hosting several community meetings and receiving expert review and recommendation, the school district is implementing a new visitor check-in system at all schools. Visitors will be requested to provide a government issued ID; this will be used to create an account for you in our system.

If you are looking for an active, authentic, and diverse learning environment for your elementary-aged student?

Earth Farm at James Ranch (and family at TJS) has about a dozen jack o' lantern pumpkins left just in time for Halloween! Heather will have them available for a Juniper family discount after school on the front lawn after school today. Their farm endured a lot of challenges this summer between fires, flash flooding with mud slides and then drought conditions. It was amazing that any pumpkins survived and these are the last of those beauties! Thank you for supporting one of our fellow families.

Dear Families and Students,

Dear 9-R Families,

Initial student photos have been completed at all schools, allowing schools to fully implement the use of student IDs for other purposes such as:

School Bus Transportation Services
School Library Use
City Transit Use
Safety and Security

Starting Monday, October 22, IDs are required for all district bus services, including regular bus route services and field trips. Your student should ensure that they have their ID, or that the lost ID is reported to the school office ASAP for replacement.

Students will be issued IDs again this year. New 2018/19 IDs will be distributed following your school’s Fall picture day. IDs issued last year should be used in lieu of the new IDs until the new photos and IDs are produced. These IDs are important for safety and security, allow access to bus transportation services, can be used with City Transit and are required for school library use.
