Greetings Husky Families
Welcome to another great week at Jahn School of Fine Arts. I would like to take a moment to thank you for allowing your child(ren) to be a part of our “Swag” day last Wednesday. It was great to see blue t-shirts all across campus. Students were excited to be a part of this event. Wednesdays are typically the day our staff wears Jahn gear. We invite your child(ren) to join us - whether it’s that t-shirt or any Jahn gear, show some school pride. We’re excited!!!! #schoolspirit
For the next two weeks, there will be a lot happening on campus. We would love for you and your child(ren) to be aware and involved. Please be mindful of what’s listed below:
LSC Candidate Forum and meeting: Please take a moment to hear from our LSC candidates for the 2024-26 term. Our candidate’s forum is on Wednesday at 5:30, followed by our monthly meeting at 6 pm. Both events can be viewed in person or virtually at the following link: LSC Candidate Forum and meeting link

Crosswalk Safety: In an effort to support the safety of our students, I am asking that you assist us in not blocking any of the crosswalks during arrival or dismissal. It is important to keep the crosswalks clear. Please assist us in keeping our students safe.
