The Julesburg Early Education Center Preschool received some extremely exciting news this week. The William Stretesky Foundation has graciously awarded us a grant to support the tuition needs of our families for their children to attend our preschool. We cannot thank the foundation enough for their support of our children and their education.
Preschool is in full swing! So happy to be back in the classroom!
7th-11th Grade History classes are creating timeline artifacts for the classroom timeline.
Students in Family & Consumer Science are learning to make face masks.

The Julesburg School District Remembers~

7th grade Art students are practicing their observational drawing skills by studying the small objects in front of them and drawing them in their sketchbooks!
Pandemic EBT (P-EBT) is still available in Colorado!
Pandemic EBT, or P-EBT, provides families with children eligible for free or reduced-price school meals and attend a school participating in the National School Lunch Program with funds to help purchase food. This benefit is being distributed because students missed essential meals while schools were closed due to the pandemic this spring. Families can receive up to $279 per eligible child to supplement their food budget, regardless of immigration status.
Households that were receiving SNAP during the months of March, April, and May may not need to take any action; their P-EBT benefits may have automatically been loaded onto the EBT card they already have. Families with eligible children who did not receive SNAP during those months or who did not receive the automatic payment need to apply online to receive this benefit. The deadline to apply is September 23rd. Visit coloradopeak.force.com/PEBT to learn more and apply for P-EBT today! Please contact your child's school if you need another copy of your child's state student ID.
As we are in week two of school, this is such a great reminder to teachers and parents that kids are human, too! Kids need down time, rest, and extra sleep. And sometimes they are just grumpy and that's ok! We ALL have those days!
The 8th grade learned about models. They used Google 3D models on their phones to explore realistic virtual models.
Getting back into the groove of art making by creating “automatic drawings”! Students practice different mark making techniques with their eyes closed them add color and texture to their drawings.
So excited to have kids back in the buildings!! Kindergarten is hard at work learning about rules and laws.

Good evening JES Parents/Guardians! I just wanted to congratulate our students and families for a terrific first day back! The day went very smoothly considering all of the changes that took place this year. It was so wonderful to see our students again. Please click on the link below to see the Julesburg Elementary School Student/Parent Handbook. This is our general school handbook so it does not necessarily reflect the changes we made this year to best meet the health and safety requirements of our students and staff. Those changes include, the grab and go breakfast at the end of the day for the next morning, lunch in the classroom, arrival and dismissal procedures, curriculum, social distancing, etc. Those changes were listed in the back-to-school letter that was sent to all parents a couple of weeks ago. If you would like a hard copy of this handbook and/or the back-to-school letter, please email Rhonda Palic at palic_rh@julesburg.org or call the elementary school at 970-474-3364 to request a copy. Thank you again for preparing your children for a terrific first day back.
