Jones Wheat Primary School

Congratulations to these outstanding educators for successfully completing their two-year Science of Reading professional development!
We are incredibly proud of the dedication they have shown to strengthening their knowledge of how students learn to read. Through this journey, they have gained powerful instructional strategies that will help support and grow strong readers in their classrooms for years to come.

A special thank you to our facilitators who helped guide and support this learning along the way: Mrs. Candance Rentz and Mrs. Sara Dollar (LETRS facilitators) and Mrs. Alicia Cloud (Georgia Literacy Modules facilitator). Your leadership and commitment to growing literacy instruction across our district is truly appreciated.

Your commitment to learning and improving instruction makes a lasting impact on our students. Thank you for investing in the success of every learner!

Book Fair
Our JWP teachers and staff were treated to a delicious Biscuits for the Best breakfast, generously sponsored by SunStop Stores! It was a wonderful way to start the day and celebrate the incredible educators who pour so much into our students every single day.

Members of the Central Office team, and our friends from SunStop stopped by to help serve up appreciation—and Sunny the SunStop mascot was the highlight of the morning! The kids were thrilled to see Sunny, filling the halls with waves, hugs, and lots of excited smiles ☀️

We are so grateful for community partners like SunStop and for the amazing team at JWP who make a difference in the lives of our Bearcats each and every day.
