Journey Elementary

The Journey Student Council wants to wish all of our teachers a Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! #JourneySoBright

A REMINDER: The HSD Child Nutrition Department is modifying it's Grab & Go program to a more convenient method with our new 𝙒𝙚𝙚𝙠𝙡𝙮 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙗 & 𝙂𝙤 meal schedule! 🍎 Starting the week of May 4th, we will be moving to ᴏɴᴄᴇ ᴀ ᴡᴇᴇᴋ ᴘɪᴄᴋ-ᴜᴘ on WEDNESDAYS ONLY. 🍏 You will be able to pick up 5 breakfast and 5 lunch meals for each child between the ages of 0-18 each Wednesday. ⚠️ To help protect our staff and to make the process smooth please have your trunk or rear door open so staff can place the meals in there.

⚠️ Following Governor Noem’s press conference to present South Dakota’s Back to Normal plan, we want to communicate that the HSD plan for the remainder of the current school year has not changed. We will continue remote learning through the end of the current year. School facilities remain closed through at least May 31st, and playgrounds will remain closed until further notice. The tennis courts will reopen immediately for public use as will the North Middle School track for walking and running. We will continue to communicate changes as they occur. 🔴 This Friday is School Lunch Hero Day, as well as Principal Appreciation Day. We encourage you to share a note of appreciation or a word of thanks with those who have been working so hard to meet the needs of our students.

Happy Birthday Mrs. Sellner!

Journey Elementary Teacher & Staff Parade! Monday, April 20th - 5:30pm (see the attached flyer for the parade route) We can’t wait to see your smiling faces! PLEASE REMAIN ON THE SIDEWALKS AND PRACTICE SOCIAL DISTANCING!

These are challenging times, and we care about the welfare of you and your family. If your family is in need of resources, please complete the survey sent out by your building principal on April 15th. #HarrisburgStrong #InThisTogether

How are our Tigers making the most of their day? 🐾Message us a picture by the end of the day and we'll share them tomorrow. #WhatchaDoinWednesday

There will be some changes to the Grab & Go meals over the next couple of weeks.  During that time, we will transition some items served over to heat-and-eat products such as breakfast sandwiches, cheese omelets, chicken nuggets, hamburgers, chicken sandwiches and popcorn chicken.  All of these items can be heated in the microwave and instructions are on a small label that has been placed in the bag.  We will continue to have Uncrustables peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as a daily option in addition to the heat and heat lunch items.
