LET'S ROCK OUR SOCKS!

On Tuesday, March 21st students are encouraged to wear bright, mismatched socks over their uniform pants.

Every year on March 21st, people all around the world come together to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day by wearing brightly colored, mismatched socks. March 21 is symbolic because people with Down syndrome have 3 copies of their 21st chromosome.

JCD is proud to raise public awareness and create a single global voice advocating for the rights, inclusion and well-being of people with Down syndrome. 

Students in grades 3-8 will be taking the Smarter Balanced Assessments (SBA) beginning the week of March 27th. 

To encourage our students to do their best, we will have a school-wide PEP RALLY! To increase the fun, we are asking students to wear certain colors based on their grade level. 

The rally will be on March 27th at 1:15.

Helping students do their best in school requires a team effort. To help all of us learn how to make your child's schooling experience as positive and beneficial as possible, please give us your honest, thoughtful responses to the survey questions.

Families and caregivers can access their surveys by using the link below: surveys.panoramaed.com/newhaven/family2023
