Hello Juniper Families! Here’s this week’s Weekly News with important reminders, upcoming events, and information to help keep your family up to date. Please take a few minutes to review the updates below. Thank you for your continued support of our Juniper Jaguars!
No School
There will be no school on October 8 and 9 due to Parent Teacher Conferences.
Parent Teacher Conferences
Parent Teacher Conferences will be held on October 8 and 9. These conference days provide an opportunity for families and teachers to connect, discuss student progress, celebrate successes, and work together to support each student’s learning and growth. If you have not yet scheduled a conference with your child’s teacher, please contact the teacher as soon as possible to arrange a conference time.
Book Fair
The Book Fair is on its way to Juniper! This will be an opportunity for students to see what is available. There won't be any purchases made on the 7th, just a sneak peak! The Book Fair will be open for business during Parent Conferences. Please come visit the Book Fair on Thursday, October 8th between 7:30am-6:00pm and Friday, October 9th between 7:30am-12:00pm. This is a great opportunity to purchase some wonderful books for your child and encourage a love of reading!
Red Robin Fundraiser
Come support Juniper at our PTA Red Robin Fundraiser on October 8! Gather your family and enjoy a meal at Red Robin while helping raise funds for our school. It’s an easy and delicious way to support our students and PTA programs. We hope to see you there!
Ghost Grams
Send a little fun to a friend! Ghost Grams will be on sale for just $1 each starting October 12 through October 27. Students can purchase a Ghost Gram to send to a friend or classmate. It’s a fun way to brighten someone’s day and let them know you’re thinking of them!
GATE
The Escondido Union School District is pleased to announce that the testing window will be opening for Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) identification. All 2nd grade students will have the opportunity to participate in universal screening in November. In addition, parents and teachers may recommend students not previously screened in grades 3 through 8 to be screened for GATE eligibility. Parents can pick up the Parent Background and Input Form in the school’s front office starting on October 5th and should return it to the school by Friday, October 30th. A school team will review requests and determine which students will be eligible to be screened in November. For more information, please visit our district website or stop by your school office.
