The elementary years are a formative time for children to discover the fun in learning, explore their growing interests, and build connections with both their classmates and teachers. At JIS, students are guided by a passionate team of educators such as this week’s JIS Podcast guests, Grade 5 Teacher Janice VanHaltren and Grade 1 Teacher Jen Profrock. They join our hosts, Middle School Vocal Music Teacher Morgan Banino and PIE Digital Literacy Coach Mindy Slaughter, to talk about what hybrid learning looks like at JIS Elementary School, why community building is especially important during these challenging times, and various ways both Elementary campuses ensure students’ safety and wellbeing. Get to know Janice and Jen, as well as JIS Elementary School, by listening to the latest episode of the JIS Podcast!
