March 31, Joseph City Elementary School Kindergarten Round-Up Class of 2036 is an opportunity to take the first steps towards a smoother transition to kindergarten for both child and family, many of whom will be experiencing the classroom setting for the first time. You will also be able to register your child for Kindergarten at this event. This is your chance to get to know JCES, teachers and leaders at our school in a friendly and welcoming experience. We will share valuable information like bus schedules, cafeteria, and Parent/Student Portals. We hope this experience will make kindergarten a more familiar place when classes start in August reducing first-day jitters—for everyone. We look forward to getting to know you and your child as they begin their educational journey.

NEW LUNCH PRICES Effective March 27, 2023, cafeteria lunch prices will increase to $3.25 at the Joseph City Elementary, Jr High and High School. This is for students who are not Free or Reduced eligible.

Joseph City Elementary School will be celebrating reading during the week of Feb 27-Mar 3 with dress-up days and activities. Take the time to share your favorite book with your child. “If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.”—Albert Einstein It doesn't have to be just fairy tales. When it comes to success in school, parents play the most influential role in children's lives. https://gradelevelreading.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/School_Readiness_r34.pdf

JCUSD is looking for substitute teachers. The position does not require a degree but does require a background check and referrals. Substitute teaching allows you to determine which days you are available to work. It also gives you an opportunity to give back to the community and to help in the educational process. If you are interested please contact one of our principals. Eric Miller (928)288-3361 Darrel Mosier (928)288-3329 Thanks!

The Elementary students enjoyed a special presentation of Mary Poppins at the auditorium today. It was fabulous! Here, with the help of some of the cast, the students are learning to spell that "super" long word they sing.
