New-Grinch for Good Spirit Week
Dear Families,
This holiday season, we are excited to grow our hearts three sizes bigger, just like the Grinch! To make this happen, our school will be participating in the Grinch for Good campaign by organizing a food drive. Each class has a goal to collect 100 nonperishable food items that we will donate to the Hancock County Food Pantry. We would love for each family to participate! Please work with your child to collect cans and bring them into school the week of December 16th. Students must donate a nonperishable food item each day to be able to participate in the spirit days listed below. Every donated item will make a difference in our community. Thank you!
Sincerely, 2nd Grade Teachers

REminder- student Attendance
Senate Bill 282/Public Law 125 - Absenteeism and School Attendance
The new requirements for schools focus on students who are in kindergarten through sixth grade. If those students have five unexcused absences, schools must create an attendance plan.
Indiana Code mandates that when a student misses 10 total unexcused days of school, the student and parent must be referred to the local prosecutor’s office and/or DCS. Therefore, we must submit a Referral Form to the Hancock County Prosecutor’s Office and DCS office. The Prosecutor’s Office will then contact the parents to determine possible consequences, including court action for truancy or educational neglect.
New-Positive office referrals
Each week teachers nominate students for a Positive Office Referral. These students go above and beyond following our JB Way of Being Respectful, Responsible and Kind Cougars. Congratulations to this week's Positive Office Referrals!
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!
