Dear Miles Jones Families, 

 I welcome you back to the 2020-2021 school year!   I hope you all had a wonderful summer.  We have been very busy preparing for our virtual first semester here at Marvelous Miles Jones.  We as a school have accomplished a great deal and made some very significant changes in the lives of all our students.  There is so much to be proud of and I truly believe that our accomplishments were made based solely on the most important element: our students.

As we embark on another great year of teaching and learning, I’m very excited about another chapter we are about to write in our book of student achievement.  During the 2020-21 school year, we will continue to build upon and refine our proven foundation of good work, honored traditions, and continued excellence in education.  We will continue to:    

Embrace New Opportunities. ……Unlock Potential…  Continue To Inspire Excellence.

Everyone at Miles Jones plays an integral part to ensure that our school is a highly effective center of learning. We will continue to focus on our school community, which is a community united around its children. We recognize that in order to be successful during virtual learning, our children need support from home, school, and community. A strong partnership with you will make a great difference in your child’s education. We ask that you guide and support your child’s virtual learning by ensuring that he/she:

• Attends school daily and log in  on time, which is 9:00 AM, ready for the day’s learning experience
• Completes assignments given by teachers
• Read daily to develop a love for reading and to improve literacy skills
• Shares virtual school experiences with you
• Informs you if he/she needs additional support in any area or subject
• Knows that you expect him/her to succeed during our virtual learning semester

I anticipate a most successful year as my team and I support the academic, social, and emotional growth of your child at Virtual Miles Jones Elementary School.  During the course of the year, it is my hope that we will work together to provide the students of Miles Jones with the best possible opportunities in preparing them to be world-class leaders.  As Principal, my virtual office hours are from 8:00-4:30 PM Monday-Friday. Please feel free to schedule an appointment to discuss any concerns, suggestions, or ideas to help make this an outstanding year.

As a reminder, the first day of virtual learning is Tuesday, September 8, 2020.   The school hours for K-2 students are 9:15-3:00 and students in grades 3-5 are 9: 15-3:30. 

Sincerely,

Mrs. Sonya Shaw, Principal
