Good morning, Jewell! Our homecoming weekend is nearly upon us. Tonight, 10/14, we will host HS VB in the gymnasium at 6 followed by a bonfire from 7-8 behind the football field. On Saturday, we will host HS FB at 2 pm with the senior players and their families being introduced before kickoff and the homecoming court being introduced at halftime. The homecoming dance is being offered free of charge for all eligible high school students Saturday night at 8 in the barn for our country nights dance. The dance will conclude at 10:30 after a fireworks display. Lots of good stuff...Go Jays!
On October 13th (tomorrow), our seniors will take the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). The SAT is a standardized test that measures knowledge and skills in reading, writing, and math—the same knowledge and skills your student needs to succeed in college and career. Please remind them to be well rested and eat a healthy breakfast tomorrow morning. If you have questions or concerns about the test, please contact Shelly Alford at 503-755-2451 ext.3011 or shellya@jewellk12.org. Information about the SAT can be found on the College Board website https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat

Good evening. We are seeking qualified candidates for two middle school basketball coaching opportunities...one for the lads and one for the ladies. The boys season will be from mid-October up to winter break in December. The girls season will be in January and February. Please contact Emma or Mr. Freeman if you are interested. Go Jays!
Good afternoon. At approximately 1:15 pm today, Jewell School's well was not able to keep up with the demand and unfortunately, we ran out of water. We have been supplying students with bottled water and hand sanitizer as needed. We plan to run our afternoon busses at the regular time today. Our High School Volleyball game against St. Paul has been cancelled and will be rescheduled. We will have practice afterschool for MS & HS Volleyball, HS Football and MS & HS Cross Country. We will NOT have any practice for the MS Club Football today.
We have water delivery scheduled for the early morning and fully anticipate school will be in session tomorrow.
Happy Monday! I hope you have had a pleasant weekend. The Natal Grange will be open this Wednesday, September 8th, from 1-4 for anyone in need of some food assistance.

Good afternoon. Unfortunately, we will not have enough middle school football players to schedule interscholastic games this year. So, we are still hoping to keep any interested middle school football players, grades 5-8, on the field with Coach Veit for a Jewell School football club! Their first day of practice will be this Wednesday, September 1st, and they will practice every week after school Monday through Wednesday through the month of October. Please contact Emma or Mr. Freeman if you have any questions.
See the flyer below.
FYI
Because of ongoing road construction on HWY 26 there may impacts on bus times for the Blue & Gold Routes. This is occurring in the morning only. If your student rides the Blue or Gold Bus and your bus is late to your stop, please be patient! If the bus arrives late at school students will still be given time to eat breakfast.
Good afternoon! One week from today, middle school football and volleyball will begin practicing after school. Please make sure athletes are registered in FamilyID and have an active physical on file in the front office. Please contact Emma or Mr. Freeman if you have any questions. Go Jays!

Hood to Coast 2021 Volunteers
This year's Hood to Coast will be different than previous years. We will be serving food outside the cafeteria with a dining area under the covered play structure. There will be limited shower service and the sleeping area has been moved to an outdoor field near the play structure. All of these precautions have been taken to support a safer fundraising event. If you are interested in volunteering, please follow the link to sign up for available slots:
