Art Show
The Hancock County Student Art Show is quickly approaching and I’m getting so excited to share what your amazing students have been working hard on this year in art! You are all invited to attend the Student Art Show on Thursday, May 2nd and Friday, May 3rd. Please see the flyer below for more information.
Every student from JB Stephens will be represented with one piece of art. We hope to see you there!
Thank you to our art teacher, Mrs. Emma Jones, for all her work and dedication getting our student's work displayed.

Students may only attend on the day their grade level is assigned. Please see the flyer below for more information. An RSVP through ParentSquare will come out shortly and will be required so we can plan for enough refreshments. The cost of this event is $5.00 per student. Orders forms will come home next week. No sales will be allowed at the door, presale only.

School Dismissal Manager (reminder)
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 (reminder)
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 (reminder)
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!
