The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is the heart of our school community! We're a dynamic team of parents, caregivers, and educators working together to make school life extraordinary for every student.
From organizing fun-filled events like Tiger Fest and Family Date Night to funding classroom resources, staff appreciation, and enrichment programs—our PTO helps create the vibrant, supportive environment our kids thrive in.
Whether you're a seasoned volunteer or just curious about getting involved, there's a place for YOU here. Joining the PTO is a great way to stay connected, make new friends, and be part of something that truly makes a difference.
Let’s build memories, support our teachers, and make magic happen—together!
One of the newest additions to our PTO this past year was our Earth Day Celebration for 2nd and 3rd grade! We upcycled water bottles & turned them into planters. We also learned about the water cycle and participated in a fun science experiment! It was a great day for students & volunteers!

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at our amazing volunteers dishing out the sweet stuff as they prepped for the PTO Ice Cream Social—our beloved welcome back tradition! This community-building event is all about reconnecting, meeting new families, and kicking off the school year with sprinkles, smiles, and PTO spirit. A sweet start to a great year ahead! This FREE event is a great way to meet new friends & enjoy a fun treat! We hope to see you at our upcoming ice cream social for the 2026-27 school year! Details coming soon!
Field Day is one of the most anticipated days of the year—and for good reason! It’s a high-energy, action-packed day filled with games, relays, challenges, and plenty of laughs. From target throwing and hula hooping to a relay obstacle course and team spirit, students get to run, play, and celebrate the joy of being a kid.
Thanks to our amazing volunteers and staff, Field Day is the perfect way to kick into spring with sunshine, smiles, and school spirit!
Our Sunshine Committee spoils our staff a few times a year with special treats. Whether it's a creative soda bar or our fan-favorite SOUP-er Bowl soup & salad bar in February... they are always finding a way to make our staff feel apprecaited!
To celebrate the season and show our heartfelt appreciation, the PTO hosts a festive Staff Holiday Lunch each year! Our team transforms the space with cheerful holiday decorations, serves a delicious catered meal, and adds a sweet touch with a beautiful spread of donated holiday cookies for staff to take home and enjoy.It’s our way of saying thank you for all the heart, hustle, and holiday magic our amazing staff bring to school every day!

Our volunteers love our school!
Lots of ways to volunteer at JTES!
