NEW-Summer Reading Club
Congratulations to these JB Cougars who read 5 or more hours in the Hancock County Public Library Summer Reading Club. They each received a brand new book from our Book Vending Machine! Rockstar Readers!
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!
NEW-Planned E-LEARNING
NEW-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!
new-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.
New-Rachel's Challenge
JB student's participated in Rachel's Challenge on Wednesday morning. Rachel's Challenge encourages students to create a chain reaction of kindness, dream big, choose positive influences, accept and include others and be KIND! This connected to our JB WAY perfectly.

Footwear-JBS Student Handbook Update
To ensure the safety and comfort of all students, our dress code includes specific guidelines for footwear.
Please follow these rules when selecting shoes for school:.
Footwear for School: to ensure both comfort and safety, students should wear closed toe shoes with backs that are appropriate for the student learning day. Students should not wear flip flops, slides, open back shoes, or high heels. If your child does not have safe, appropriate shoes for learning and recess play, your child may not participate in the activity or you may be asked to bring appropriate footwear.
