It’s often wise to “calculate” your next steps carefully. In essence, both calculators and schools play vital roles in the educational journey by providing support, resources, and opportunities for growth and learning. Just like a school nurtures and guides students through their learning journey, a calculator is an essential companion in the classroom! We may be able to solve the problems, but remember that we can take a quick second to check our work. Plus, we can always ask for help!

Measurement is an essential life skill that is best learned through hands-on experiences. In second grade, students are practicing measuring using both metric and customary units. As part of their learning, they first sorted items based on the appropriate type of measurement. Next, they searched for objects to measure, starting with an estimation of the measurement and then comparing it to the actual result.

The tool of tape represents our school because, like tape, we are stronger together. It holds things together, just as every student and staff member plays an essential role in our community. Tape is flexible and adapts to different surfaces, mirroring how we work together, adjusting to challenges and each other’s strengths. Often invisible yet crucial, tape teaches us that even the quietest efforts are vital to our success. Just as a single piece of tape can’t do it all, we know that collaboration is the key to achieving our goals—together, we create something far stronger than the sum of our parts.
The hammer shown in the picture may look like a typical hammer, but it can do much more. In education, we may appear to be merely teaching our students content. In actuality, we are teaching our students much more than reading, writing and arithmetic. We are preparing our students for jobs that might not currently exist. Our students will leave JHS with all of the tools necessary to be happy and productive citizens.
This year, teachers and staff at JHS were invited to participate in a book study. The book selected for study was The Hard Hat by Jon Gordon. The Hard Hat is an unforgettable true story about a selfless, loyal, joyful, hard-working, competitive, and compassionate leader and teammate, the impact he had on his team and program, and the lessons we can learn from him.
In the book, a college lacrosse hockey team wanted their culture and program to be defined by toughness, selflessness, and hard work. Hard hats are usually worn by construction workers. The lacrosse team decided to use a hard hat to symbolize the blue-collar work ethic they wanted their program and teams to possess.
Our staff set out to think of an item we could use to symbolize the type of climate and culture we want our school to have. We chose a tool belt because a tool belt holds many different tools that we can use to help guide, mentor and mold our students into graduates who become productive citizens.

As we approach the holiday season, our elementary students participated in a delightful Jingle Jaunt around the track to celebrate the start of Christmas break. This event not only promotes physical activity but also fosters community spirit among our young learners.

🎓 Semester Finals Underway at Julesburg High School! 📚
It's that time of year again—finals week! Students at Julesburg High School are diving into comprehensive semester finals this morning, testing their knowledge across the full range of subjects they've covered since the beginning of the school year. Each test lasts for one hour, with an optional 15-minute extension if needed.
It's a busy week for our students, who are juggling finals with holiday tournaments, concerts, and a variety of extracurricular activities. Sophomores kicked off their testing with Individual Career and Academic Planning and a test on “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens,” a must-read for anyone aiming for success in high school and beyond.
Best of luck to all our students as they wrap up their semester with hard work and dedication! 📖✨
Second grade would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to these two incredible volunteers. Your time, effort, and dedication mean more to us than words can express. We deeply appreciate everything you do for us. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! With love, Second Grade.
