Please take action now to ensure your student’s immunizations are up to date before your student starts 6th grade. If your child has not already received their required Tdap booster and first MCV4 vaccine, now is the time to schedule those appointments.
Per the State of Indiana, these vaccines are required for all incoming 6th grade students. Your student may receive these vaccines as soon as they turn 11 years old.
A huge thank you to our amazing kitchen staff for the early mornings, hard work, friendly smiles, and the countless meals served throughout the year. We appreciate everything you do for our students and staff each and every day.
Thank you for being everyday heroes at EJE!
Thank you for your leadership, dedication, and care for our school community. Hats off to all the principals across the Jay School Corporation! ❤️🤍💙
Students at East Jay have a younger sibling, Isabella, at East Elementary who has recently been diagnosed with leukemia. This is a difficult time for their family, and we want them to feel the strength and care of our school community.
We are collecting monetary donations to help with travel expenses as they visit her at Riley and for any upcoming appointments and treatments. If you are able to give, any amount is appreciated and will go directly to supporting the family.
If you don’t have a student at either building but would still like to contribute, please feel free to stop by the office between 7:30 AM and 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday.
Thank you for keeping this family in your thoughts and for always showing such kindness and support.
Plan to attend our upcoming 🪻🐝🌷 Spring Art Show Open House and Music Program 🌷🐝🪻 at East Jay Elementary! We hope to see you there!
(Revised schedule 4/1)
Congratulations to 6th graders Malak Elshiekh and Audrey Miller, who will advance to compete in the Optimist Oratorical Contest District Finals in Dunkirk on April 14th.
We are so proud of their hard work, confidence, and dedication—qualities that will continue to lead them to success. Best of luck 🍀 as you take the next step—we know you’ll represent EJE well!
East Jay Elementary is excited to share a new opportunity for our students!
Nurse Lori (DeRome) recently introduced the AHA CPR Anytime program, starting with our 6th grade classes, with plans to expand to more students next year. During these sessions, students are learning important, potentially life-saving skills, including how to respond in an emergency, when to call 9-1-1, and what information a dispatcher may need.
They are also being taught Hands-Only CPR, along with a demonstration of what an AED is and how it can be used in an emergency situation.
These lessons are taking place during Mr. Alberson’s PE classes, giving students hands-on experience and confidence to help others when it matters most.
We are proud of our students for taking part in this important learning experience—skills that could truly make a difference in someone’s life!
