Message from Principal Magliola
Good Afternoon Jackson MS Parents and Families:
It is with mixed emotions that I share with you that this year will be my final year as principal at LJMS as I am moving back to California in July. I am grateful for all the support and opportunities to get to know and learn from each of you, and remain with me for life as we navigated a global pandemic together. The relationships with the Luther Jackson community and my experiences will remain with me as we navigated a global pandemic together and created the best environment for our students to learn and grow. Please know that I have accepted the principalship at my former school in Sacramento, Winston Churchill IB Middle School. I sincerely thank you for everything you have done for our students these past years.
Dr. Fabio Zuluaga, Region 2 Assistant Superintendent, will send additional information regarding the selection process of our new principal. There will be an important community meeting, with interpreters, where parents/guardians and members of our faculty and staff can learn about the FCPS selection process for a new principal. Throughout the process, staff, parents, and students can provide meaningful feedback regarding their aspirational goals for our school and the qualities for the next leader who will help us take our school to the next level of success. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly at any time if you have any questions about next year.
As we wrap up the 2021-2022 school year, I hope that we will all celebrate our students’ successes together and enjoy some quality rest and relaxation. I wish you all a wonderful summer break.
There will not be a community message this Sunday as this is being sent today. Enjoy your weekend!
Es con emociones encontradas que comparto con ustedes que este año será mi último año como director en LJMS ya que me mudaré de regreso a California en julio. Estoy agradecido por todo el apoyo y las oportunidades para conocer y aprender de cada uno de ustedes, y permanecer conmigo de por vida mientras navegamos juntos por una pandemia global. Las relaciones con la comunidad de Luther Jackson y mis experiencias permanecerán conmigo mientras navegamos juntos por una pandemia global y creamos el mejor ambiente para que nuestros estudiantes aprendan y crezcan. Tenga en cuenta que acepté la dirección de mi antigua escuela en Sacramento, Winston Churchill IB Middle School. Le agradezco sinceramente todo lo que ha hecho por nuestros estudiantes en los últimos años.
El Dr. Fabio Zuluaga, Asistente del Superintendente de la Región 2, enviará información adicional sobre el proceso de selección de nuestro nuevo director. Habrá una reunión comunitaria importante, con intérpretes, donde los padres/tutores y miembros de nuestra facultad y personal podrán aprender sobre el proceso de selección de FCPS para un nuevo director. A lo largo del proceso, el personal, los padres y los estudiantes pueden brindar comentarios significativos sobre sus metas a las que aspiran para nuestra escuela y las cualidades del próximo líder que nos ayudará a llevar nuestra escuela al siguiente nivel de éxito. No dude en comunicarse conmigo directamente en cualquier momento si tiene alguna pregunta sobre el próximo año.
A medida que finalizamos el año escolar 2021-2022, espero que todos celebremos juntos los éxitos de nuestros estudiantes y disfrutemos de un descanso y relajación de calidad. Les deseo a todos unas maravillosas vacaciones de verano.
No habrá un mensaje comunitario este domingo ya que este se está enviando hoy. ¡Disfruta tu fin de semana!
Sincerely,
Mike Magliola
PTA CORNER
On behalf of the entire PTA Board, I'd like to personally thank each and every one of you for your support of the PTA this school year. I have been proud to be part of such an active PTA. I have been overwhelmed by the support we've received this year, every signup genius and wish list we circulated were 100% fulfilled, both by volunteer hours and also items donated. We focused this year on showing our staff how much we appreciate all they do for the LJ community through the wellness lounge and events such as the Holiday Sweet Shop and Staff Appreciation week. In addition, our Food Needs team, led by Jenna Von Elling, worked hard to ensure our community members most in need were taken care of. This effort involves lots of hours of planning and dedication. We couldn't do any of this without you.
To the families of rising 9th graders, we wish your students the best in the next steps of their educational journey, to rising 8th graders, we look forward to seeing you back in the fall! And to any rising 7th grade families who might already be receiving these messages, welcome and we look forward to meeting you!
Sincerely,
Angie Roeder
Outgoing PTA President
The PTA is excited to continue our work with the LJMS Administration as we work to expand the structure and outreach of our in-school food pantry. A number of our students and their families rely on the food support we are able to offer through this program. By working with Luther Jackson’s Family Liaison and Social Worker, we are uniquely positioned to eliminate hunger as an obstacle to learning. It is important to us to provide our food unstable families with the essentials they need to care for their families. Being able to provide diapers and hygiene products, especially over the summer, relieves an immense financial burden from these families. You can help support these efforts! Simply purchase items from our Amazon wish list, and they will be sent directly to the school.
