Welcome to Grace Jordan Elementary!
We are excited to be one of Boise School District’s new
consolidated elementary schools. When we open in August 2008, we
will bring together students from McKinley, Franklin, and Jackson
Elementary Schools. We expect to open with 550 students, including
preschool through 6th grade.
We are fortunate to have an experienced and professional staff
at Grace Jordan Elementary. We have teachers joining us from
four different schools! With your help, we look forward to leaping
into
our first year with a variety of special services and programs.
Our Title I team will offer additional academic support to all
of our children. Our English Language Learners program, Special
Education Preschool program, and Special Education classrooms
will provide valuable assistance tailored to the needs of our unique
student population. We are also thrilled to provide students
with
an enhanced technological experience, because a SMART Board will
be utilized in every classroom!
We are pleased to announce the on-site additions of a Just
for Kids Child Care Program and a community center operated by
Boise Parks and Recreation. This community center is an exciting
new joint venture between the Boise School District and the City
of Boise. Both of these programs will benefit students beyond
the school day.
The Grace Jordan staff is anxious to meet and welcome students,
parents and community members to your beautiful new neighborhood
school. We believe in strong parental involvement, and we
look forward to getting you involved as soon as possible. Please
call me at 854-5082 if you would like to volunteer to help
get our
school up and running, or if you would like to help with
the
development
of our Parent/Teacher Organization (PTO).
Thank you for visiting our website. If you have questions
or comments, please email me at
or call
854-5082.
Sincerely,
Tim Lowe |
