✍️The teachers, administrators, and staff at JTR have been encouraging students all year long to perform their best on the Georgia Milestones Assessments in April. We would like students to know that their family members are encouraging them as well!
Please take a few minutes to write a letter of encouragement to your student. These letters will be printed and distributed to students as they embark upon the testing session. As always, we cannot do what we do here at JTR without the support of families at home.
