School Office Hours: M-F, 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Dear JROB Families!
This coming week is unity, kindness, and anti-bullying week! Throughout your week, think about the ways of being that you would want for your students. What skills do they need to be successful? What opportunities are there for your students to practice these skills through Harmony SEL activities? Social-emotional intelligence require high levels of cognition (DOK), empathy, communication, mindfulness, and self-control. In our 8th week of school, continue to reinforce and revisit the high expectations that we set for our school community. Highlight the acts of kindness and empathy and model the kind of scholar that strives toward Jackie's nine values!
Have a wonderful weekend!
With Dolphin Pride,
Rebecca Ngo

Cell Phone & Electronics Policy
Jackie Robinson’s policy regarding cell phones & electroinics is “Off and Out of Sight” during school hours. School hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 2:20 p.m. In order for students to avoid possible disciplinary action, they need to follow the guidelines listed below.
- Students may NOT use their cell phone on campus during any class period
- Cell phones brought to school must be turned off or placed on silent mode, put away and not visible during the school day.
- Students may use the office phone before school, during lunch, or after school to contact their family for emergency or urgent messages (i.e. where to get picked up afterschool, walk home or take the city bus home, etc.) Note: Parents, please don’t call or text your child on their cell phone during school hours.
- The use of cell phones for videotaping or taking pictures is NOT allowed, except under teacher’s supervision at designated time.
- Students who violate this policy will be subject to disciplinary action.
- Any staff member may confiscate a cell phone at any time if the student has the phone visible or is using it during any class period or during the school day. The staff member will turn the confiscated item(s) to the Administration Team.
Once an item is confiscated, there are 2 possible ways to get it back:
- If it’s a first offense, item will be released to student after school.
- If it’s a recurring offense (more than 1x), the parent/guardian must come to the school with identification to collect the item. We will not release any confiscated item to a student, even with a parent phone call.
No other electronic devices such as iPod, iTouch, iPad, earphones, earbuds, headphones, tablets, DS, DXL, Gameboy, etc. are permitted at school during the school day, except under teacher’s supervision at designated time.
Note: Jackie Robinson Academy does not assume liability for any cell phones or electronic devices that are misplaced, lost, or stolen during the school day.
