Greetings Husky Families
Welcome to another great week at Jahn School of Fine Arts.
We hope that you had the opportunity to attend our Fine Arts and Wellness (FAW) Festival. Words can not explain how much fun was had at the event. In case you missed it, you better ask someone for a recap. It was an experience and our students rocked!!!! Many thanks to our FAW team, staff and parents who supported, and of course, our students.
News Flash!!!!!!!!!
Earlier this year, parents, staff and administration were asked to complete a survey from the Department of Arts Education. Based on the survey results, Jahn was invited to go through the fine and performing arts certification process. This process consisted of a site visit, which was held before Spring Break. During that visit, they interviewed staff, students, and administration; reviewed our CIWP and our professional learning plan; and visited classrooms. At the end of last week, we were notified that Jahn was awarded the certification level of Exemplary (we actually scored exemplary across every component of the rubric).
This is truly an honor for our fine arts program and it speaks volumes about the work we are doing as a collective when it comes to arts education and integration. We look forward to the continued work we will do to uphold this certification level. Kudos to everyone!!!!!
As we continue on our journey towards the end of the school year, I want to take a moment to remind you of upcoming events. Please be sure to mark your calendars.
- OST programming: OST programming for the school year ends on this Friday, May 23rd. Many thanks for allowing your children the opportunity to participate in our programs. We also want to thank our staff members who lead sessions. Be on the lookout for details around OST summer programming.
- Memorial Day observance: Just a reminder: there will be no school in observance of Memorial Day on Monday, May 26th.
- Intent to Return Form: Please take a moment to assist us by completing our Intent to Return Form. As we continue to grow as a school, it helps us tremendously in having an accurate headcount. You can find the form at this link: Jahn Intent to Return form 2025-26.

Have an amazing week.
