We can’t wait to celebrate spring with you! 🌼✨

Good afternoon, Team One Jasper Families,

I hope you and your family had a restful and enjoyable Spring Break.

As we return to school, we are entering a very important stretch of the school year. There are just 12 instructional days remaining before state testing begins on May 4. During this time, our focus is simple and clear: helping every student finish strong.

We are committed to making every day count. In classrooms across the district, students will continue to:

Focus on grade-level learning and key standards
Engage in daily instruction and practice using digital learning tools
Receive targeted support to strengthen their skills and confidence

We are also using this time to re-engage students after the break, celebrate their progress, and provide additional support where needed to ensure they are prepared for success.

As always, our work is guided by our commitment to Safety, Quality Education, and Transparency. These values remain at the center of everything we do as we prepare students for success on state assessments and beyond.

The attached slides provide a visual overview of our district’s focus during this final stretch.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Together, we will finish strong for our students.

Finishing Strong,
