Thank You JSD Packet Stuffers
|
I would like to thank all
those that showed up last week to stuff the JSD packets for those of you that didn't use the electronic packet. Thank
you Ashley Adams, Martha Alexander, Rose Bargmann, Cynthia Cartagena, Noga Kessler, Tammy Lee, Julie Nibblett, Sue Noack and Belinda Sullivan. Your efforts are very much appreciated.

Jump Start Day
| Jump Start Day (JSD) is one week away, August 23rd. Papa Murphys Pizza will once again be there to provide hot pizza on-site. More information is provided below.
This year we have placed all forms, including the emergency forms, on line. Using the online forms is very simple. Open the packet, fill in the forms, print and bring them to JSD on the 23rd. Click here to open the electronic packet.
If you don't have access to a computer or just feel like filling out forms manually there will be a limited amount of printed packets available outside the school office weekdays from Wednesday, August 11th through Friday, August 20th between the hours of 9:00 am and 2:30 pm.
The feedback already on the electronic forms has been very positive and we sincerely hope you elect to use them. If you have any questions regarding JSD or the electronic or printed packets please contact Jeff Eide at JEideVP@gmail.com or strandwood_emailclub@ hotmail.com. We look forward to seeing everyone on Monday, August 23rd. Complete class assignments will be posted on the MU bulletin board Tuesday morning, August 24th. A few more JSD volunteers are still needed.
Contact Jeff Eide if you can help out on the 23rd. |
