Welcome back to the Weekly Roundup!

FALL IS HERE, JERICHO IS READY! 

Crisp mornings, colorful leaves, and plenty of reasons to celebrate! 

We’re welcoming the season with Jayhawk pride and all the excitement that makes fall in Jericho so special. 
 

Community Event of the Week

Fall flavors have officially arrived at Cool Beans!

This week, Cool Beans, our on-campus café, hosted a taste testing for their NEW fall menu—and our staff had an absolute ball! 

From seasonal favorites to delicious new offerings, there was plenty to taste, enjoy, and get excited about!

A HUGE THANK YOU to our incredible chefs, baristas, and the entire Cool Beans family for always bringing so much creativity, warmth, and deliciousness to our campus. We are so lucky to have you as part of our Jericho community! 
 

Happy National Custodian Day!

Today, we celebrate the people whose work is woven into every corner of our schools — even when it goes unnoticed.

Custodial work is foundational to everything that happens in a school.
It’s in the classrooms prepared for another day of learning, the hallways cared for after everyone has gone home, the early mornings, the late nights and the countless moments in between.

We are especially grateful for the people behind it — the familiar faces who know our buildings, care for our schools and help make Jericho feel like home.
So much happens each day because of their dedication, often without anyone ever seeing the work it took to make it happen.

To our incredible custodial staff: We see you, we appreciate you and we cannot thank you enough for everything you do for Jericho.
Happy National Custodian Day.

WHY WON’T MY CHILD GET STARTED?


Join us for an informative workshop in collaboration with SEPTA on October 7th, featuring guest speaker Dr. Michael Comiskey!

SEPTA events will regularly be featured in our Roundups because these workshops are open and available to families across the entire Jericho School District.

We encourage all families to attend, learn, connect, and take advantage of these valuable resources. We hope to see you there!
