We’re looking forward to a busy week ahead at Juniper filled with learning and special activities for our students. Please take a moment to read through the updates and reminders below so you can stay informed and connected with everything happening at our school.
Clothing Donation
Our school nurse is in need of extra clothing for students who may need a change of clothes during the day. We are especially looking for new underwear, shorts, and other bottoms for boys and girls in sizes appropriate for ages 3–7. If you are able to donate, please bring items to the nurse’s office. These donations will be used for students who have accidents or unexpected spills.
5th Grade Bear Valley Field Trip
Current 5th grade students will be visiting Bear Valley on March 27 as part of a transition tour for next school year. This field trip gives students an opportunity to explore the campus, learn about programs, and get familiar with their future middle school environment. If your 5th grader will be attending a different middle school, please notify the office so we can provide your family with the appropriate information.

We will conduct an earthquake drill on March 31 at 1:15 PM. Students and staff will practice “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” and then safely evacuate to designated areas. This drill helps ensure everyone is prepared in the event of an actual earthquake.
