Jamieson Elementary School

MARK YOUR CALENDARS and SAVE THE DATES—February 11 and 12!

On behalf of JEFF and Jamieson School, I’d like to invite  parents, teachers, students, community members, and local and state representatives to our Playground Plan and Campus Park Brainstorming Event set for Saturday, February 11^th, 2012.  We have formed a relationship with the Urban Habitat Chicago—a non-profit organization that provides landscape planning and facilitation expertise. 

The session will begin at 9:45 a.m. with refreshments prior to UHC’s presentation outlining the process. Then, we will invite participants to comment on, draw, and otherwise articulate what they would like to see Jamieson’s playground become.  This session will run from 11:15 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. and ALL are welcome to join in. This is designed to be a collaborative event that will allow all members of the Jamieson community to participate and form a long term relationship to improve the school, beautify the neighborhood, and support family use of our campus. I hope to see many people in attendance.

If you have any questions, please contact Principal Baughman at 773-534-2395.

Parents, we are looking for volunteers to help us during our Lunch times from 10:45 to 1:10 each day. If you can volunteer for a day or two per week it would really be a great help to us. We’re also in need of volunteers to help us with morning and afternoon playground duties. Please follow this link and let us know if you can help. For more information please call the office 773.534.2395

Thank you parents and students for a very successful 1st day of school. We look forward to having a superb year.

Jamieson is pleased to announce our partnership with Right at School, a tuition based after school child care program, that will be available to any interested Jamieson parent with children in Kindergarten through 5th grade. The program allows parents the flexiblity to have this support as often as you like up to  5 days a week until 6 p.m. .
