BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
TJES offers many after-school activities that support student learning and development, including tutoring, homework help, hands-on math and science and technology programs, sports, and cultural activities.
AFTER-SCHOOL DISMISSAL PROCEDURES:
- If your child lives on campus, they may walk home.
- If you coordinate with the office or classroom teacher to pick your child up from school, students will wait in the main building at TJES. A staff member must see the student leave with the parent or family member.
- After-school activities require an approved pick-up person to arrive at the time agreed upon with the staff member running the program.
TO PARTICIPATE IN AN AFTER-SCHOOL ACTIVITY, STUDENTS MUST:
- Be in school all day (not tardy, no early pick-up)
- Have no behavioral referrals to the office
- Have a signed permission form
FAMILY NIGHT
Family Night is a monthly event for parents and their children to share in fun academic activities, games, and crafts and share a meal.
Families must sign up each month to participate in activities. Sign-ups will be sent home with each student prior to the event. Participation can be limited, so sign up early!
Standards-Based Grading
TJES utilizes a standard-based grading system quarterly, for grade reporting. The purpose of our Elementary Standards-Based Reporting System is to provide consistent and accurate information and feedback to students and their families on a student’s progress toward meeting grade-level learning standards.
Standards-based report cards enable parents to receive accurate information based on cumulative student progress throughout the semester. In addition, they promote more detailed and meaningful conversations at parent/teacher conferences, allow for careful and precise monitoring of student achievement, and reflect grade-level standards and expectations, so parents gain a complete idea of student progress.
Rubrics are printed on student report cards for ease of understanding. If you see an “x” or “NA” on a report card, that means the standard, although introduced and assessed throughout the year, may not be reported until later in the year when students have more time to demonstrate sufficient understanding.
