Dismissal Changes: Starting Monday, January 12, 2026, we will be using a system called PickUp Patrol to help us track dismissals. PickUp Patrol provides you with a convenient way to make changes to your child’s dismissal plans without calling the school and help ensure that students are safely and accurately dismissed each day. Please watch your email for registration details and updates as we implement this system. Thanks!

Events Reminder: Elementary school students must be accompanied by an adult to all events including Middle and High School events.

Barn Burner – Get your tickets for the Barn Burn here: https://square.link/u/BGV3D7rO! Join us at The Silo in Meriden on January 24th for an evening featuring dueling pianos, dinner and dessert tables from local favorites, and live & silent auctions!

1st Grade Grandparent’s Day: Grandparents/Grandfriends may arrive to the school at 1:15. We will have activities from 1:30 to 2:30. At that time, if the parent has signed a permission slip, you are dismissed with your grandchild. We also ask that it ONLY be the first grader, and no siblings, as it is their special day. Siblings will go home at their normal time and in their normal way. Grandparents may plan on picking up siblings on their special day. We appreciate your cooperation.

JWES Handbook: Reminder, the handbook can be found on our website under the “About JWES” tab. If you need a printed copy of the handbook let the office know.
