REminder-Snacks

JB has a designated snack time for all students throughout the day. Please be sure and send in a healthy snack with your child each day. We do have extra snacks in the office, but we run out often. If you prefer to send in bulk snacks to the classroom, teachers always appreciate the donations!

Reminder-Literacy in schools

This letter was sent to all parents in grades kindergarten through 3rd grade. Please take some time to read through this as it pertains to early literacy and also the IREAD assessment given to all 2nd and 3rd grade students. We encourage all families to be reading with your child at least 30 minutes a day OR have them independently read 30 minutes a day. At JB we support the love of literacy throughout the school year. Our hope is for all students to love, enjoy and be proficient readers by the end of 3rd grade.
