Dallas Isom....thank you. Thank you for all of your years of dedication to JISD. You have been invaluable to this school and community. I do know that you turned in your retirement letter after the last day teachers are on campus so we could not throw you a party. You would leave campus without a fuss because that's how your are. Please know that you will be missed dearly. Thank you for teaching our kids and loving them like your own. JISD is better for you having been here.

I have been so proud of my kids and what we gave to our student body last year and we have done so many things this year to make it even better!

Today we celebrated an amazing lady, friend and teacher. Cynthia Cate has spent the last 50 years dedicating her life to the education of children. She has been with Jonesboro ISD through good and bad times. Her expertise, love for children, friendship and smile will be missed dearly. Mrs. Cate, thank you. Thank you for loving our children like your own. You can never be replaced on campus or in our hearts. We pray your retirement brings you many years of joy.

Junior High Cheer Parents, I will be contacting parents next week to get everything I need for the information packets that were intended to get out a few weeks ago. Be checking dojo and email. If I can’t get ahold of parents that way I will call. I will also be addressing the mascot tryouts as well. Nothing was going to be decided until after graduation as our Admin had a lot on there plate. Thanks you those who are planning to tryout for your patience, you will know soon! All students where given a calendar before spring break, if that could please be turned into the school sometime next week that would be greatly appreciated. If you cannot get in to drop off at the school please let me know and I will make arrangements for a pick up location. Once the next statement is made on March 8th by our governor, information for future fundraisers, camp, parent meeting about payments due/rules and will be sent out. Having those calendars will help me greatly with all the above. Thanks for your patience as we navigate all this. Kayla Sellers

Varsity Cheer Parents, Packets where handed out two weeks ago, some have turned them in some have not. If you have not turned in the information paper or your child’s calendar please do so. While I know things are on stand by I want to start having practices as soon as we are allowed and the calendars will really help that out. Once the next statement is made on March 8th by our governor, information for future fundraisers, camp, parent meeting about payments due/rules and future practice dates will be sent out. It’s important to please return the info form and calendar to help me with that when the announcement is made. Thanks for your patience as we navigate all this. Kayla Sellers
