Julia's Garden Newsletter: Garden Day Recap, Farm to Fork, School Pictures, Parent Teacher Conferences and More!

Greetings, JG Families!


What an amazing garden day we had last Sunday - the plants are planted and we even got a bit of rain to seal the deal. Be sure to check out the Garden Photo Album on the Parent Portal and the Community FB Page to see all of the great shots of our community working together.  Such a special event!!

W. Milton Construction
The City has extended their deadline for construction on W. Milton until the end of November. Please continue to return to your cars promptly to make room for others to park in limited street spots. Thank you for your help!

Accreditations
Julia’s Garden will have two accreditations by Spring of 2020 under TEPSAC. Wow!!  We will be awarded our accreditation from ICARE next Monday, October 14th during our CD Day.  Additionally, our TAAPS accreditation visits will be completed by mid-November.  These are exciting steps for our school and we are grateful for our entire parent and staff community for offering their time to help us achieve this goal.
