Message from the Principal

Turn your Clocks back. Fall Back: This year, daylight saving time ends Sunday, Nov. 3, with clocks rolling back one hour at 2 a.m.

PICTURES: Fall pictures were sent home today. Please make sure to ask your student for them.

Thank you: Thank you to all of the parents, DMS and DUHS students, JG staff and PTO who volunteered their time helping out at Wednesday's wonderful PTO Trick or Treat event. There were awesome costumes and an enormous family/student turnout. Once again, thanks to everyone that was able to donate candy! Please remind your student to leave their Trick or Treat candy at home.

END OF DAY CALLS and PICK UPS: You must call the office by 3:00 p.m. to make arrangements for your student to go home a different way. This is a policy that we have had in place and unfortunately have to enforce. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.

BUS RIDER PARENTS: Please have your student(s) at the bus stop 5-10 minutes early so that our bus drivers can stay on schedule in order for our schools to start on time. Thank you for helping.

HURRICANE DISASTER HELP: Anyone wanting to donate items can bring them to Justus Gage Elementary and we will make sure that they are given to the appropriate person for delivery to Tennessee. Things that are needed: Water, baby food, diapers, formula, personal hygiene items, blankets, hats and gloves (both kid & adult sizes). All donations must be collected by November 7, 2024.
