The Clinic is open during school hours. A school nurse is assigned to Jamestown on Tuesdays and a nurse's assistant is on duty daily. The clinic phone number is 228-8354. If your child has a communicable disease or head lice, please call the clinic or the school office promptly so that controls can be set up to prevent the spread of the infection. Students also visit the computer lab once each week for group activities under the direction of a PTA-sponsored computer assistant.
Training is provided for parents who wish to help in the computer lab or the classroom.
In the fall and in the spring school is closed for two days while teachers meet with parents to discuss their children's progress in school. Teachers will send home notices at least a week in advance to schedule conferences, which are twenty minutes in length. If you have specific limitations on your availability it is helpful for the teacher to know in advance, so they can try to accommodate everyone's needs. Parents are encouraged to schedule a conference at any other time during the year, as needed. Conference Days Camp Arlington County runs a day camp for children of working parents on the fall and spring conference days.
