Fall Fundraiser Kick-Off
Fall Carnival
JB's annual Fall Carnival will be Saturday, November 4th from 5:30pm-7:30pm. Please join us for a night of family fun! We will have a photo booth, carnival games, food trucks, cake walk, and more! Cost is $5.00 per child (ages 3 and up). CASH ONLY; pay at the door.
We need your help! We are collecting 2-liter soda bottles and baked good (store bought only) for our Carnival. If you are able to donate, please send those into school and we will collect them in the front office. Thank you!
Halloween Costumes
I know Halloween is an exciting time! Halloween falls on a school day this year. Please do NOT send your child to school in costumes, masks, Halloween make-up etc. We appreciate your understanding and support!
Veterans Day RSVP
JB Stephens is excited to host our annual Veteran's Day program for our JB Community Veterans. Our program will be Friday, November 10th at 1:00pm in our school gym. This program is open to any JB or community Veteran. This program is not open to parents/families, unless they are a Veteran. This year we are allowing each Veteran to bring 1-2 guests, as needed for assistance, or to simply share the program with. If your child would like to invite a Veteran to attend, please fill out the RSVP form below.
Picture Re-Take Day 11/8/23
Picture re-takes will be Wednesday, November 8th for any student who did not get their picture taken, or would like new pictures taken. If you need an order form please reach out to the office. If you are getting re-takes, please be sure and send in your original pictures.
Family Literacy Learning Corner
School Dismissal Manager
School Dismissal Manager is now LIVE! Please check your email for login and set up directions. All school dismissal changes now go through School Dismissal Manager. You do NOT need to call the office if you put your change/absence in the APP. You should receive a confirmation email from SDM with your update.
IPADS
This year, student iPads will be turned off from the hours of 7:00pm-6:00am, as they are not needed for instructional purposes during this time. Please be sure and charge iPads each night and limit use of them for non-school purposes. Thanks for your help!
J.B WAY
Our JB Way is our expectations of students. We expect JB Cougars to be Respectful, Responsible and Kind! When we "catch" students following the JB Way, they are recognized by earning a Cougar Buck. Students also earn a Cougar Buck each day they are at school. They can then cash those bucks in for small prizes and fun coupons. Big thanks to our PTO for sponsoring the prizes!
Snacks
Each classroom at JB has a designated snack time to help our students stay fueled for the school day! Please send in a healthy snack with your child each day. You can also send in bulk items to share with the class, we are always appreciative of donations.
The office at J.B. Stephens helps provide snacks for students that may not bring them from home for the day. If teachers are out of snacks in the classroom, the students come to the office. As you can imagine, we can go through a lot of snacks over time! Any contribution helps!!! We truly appreciate it!
