Please join us for a retirement reception honoring Mr. Jose Marquez on Wednesday, May 14, from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. in the library. Mr. Marquez has been a valued and steady presence at Jay Shideler for many years. While we will certainly miss him, we’re excited to celebrate his accomplishments and wish him well on his next adventure!
It was a fun day for several JSE students who had a limo ride and pizza party for being the top prize winners in our Major Saver fundraiser this spring!
Join our first grade team next year! JSE is an amazing building with great staff and families!
It’s always a great day to be a blue jay! 💙

For one Auburn-Washburn teacher, Mother’s Day is just another day at the office! Mrs. LaCount, a third grade teacher at Jay Shideler Elementary School, gets to spend each school day working alongside her own children – Paul LaCount, assistive technology aide, and Mackenzie Casey, sixth grade teacher. She also works alongside her daughter-in-law, sixth grade teacher Keliah LaCount.
Fun fact: The LaCounts aren’t alone! Several mother-child duos work side by side throughout Auburn-Washburn. It's one of many things that make our district feel a little more like home.
We wish Mrs. LaCount – and all the other moms and mom-figures across our district – an incredible Mother's Day! We hope you have an A+ day filled with all your favorite things!
Congratulations to these amazing staff members as we celebrate several milestones this year!
