Thank You for helping us meet our goal in August and September of keeping our building attendance above 95%. As a building we are trying to help students understand the importance of their attendance and have emphasized it in their Data Folders as well as on light up boards in the front window and in the hallway outside the office! Thank you for helping get your student to school healthy and ready to learn!

August Attendance - 96.73%

September Attendance - 96.2%

Please make sure that you call in (833-662-6228 press 5 then press 1) prior to 8:30 if your child is going to be absent so that we can record the reason before we begin making contact. If communication is not received in regard to student absences a few things may happen.

• If your student is arriving after 8am, please come into the office and sign them in. Please be aware that students arrive late are recorded as Late in our student information system and that time counts against their daily attendance.
• You will receive an automated message letting you know your student is absent. (We have a new system and are still working out the kinks. Please call us immediately if you believe the message is inaccurate.)
• You may receive a personal call from our office staff.
• You may receive a visit from Deputy Ault, our SRO, or Kylee Waite, our MCR2 Social Worker.
• You will receive our 3-day, 5-day and 8-day attendance letters regardless of calling in. These letters are board policy and are sent to all student families when they hit the 3, 5, & 8 day threshold.
• As a building we are striving to be higher than a 95% average EACH MONTH.

Our JBE Student Council is hosting Change the World Day on Wednesday, October 16th. They will host one each month for a different cause with a different spirit day. Every change the world day is a hat day. Students are encouraged to bring in "change" donation or dollars to give to the cause.

Harvest Party Parade is at 8:05 am on October 31st. Please note that the parade can be attended by everyone, but the Harvest Party is for Jonesburg Elementary students only. Please do not bring younger siblings, cousins, etc. Thank you for helping make this a special event for JBE Students. Information about how to RSVP will come home at a later date.

Fall Harvest Parties will be held from 2:30-3:30 on Thursday, October 31st. Your student's teacher should be reaching out soon for help! Please make sure you RSVP if you are planning to help with Harvest Parties so we know who to expect in our building.

Teachers may be asking for help from parents with snacks, crafts and activities for the Harvest Party. Parents will be allowed to drop snacks or activities off in the morning or during the day if you are unable to send it with your child. Please make sure it is labeled.

Snacks during the party need to be store-bought, pre-packaged and preferably healthy. Other items such as pencils, stickers, etc are always welcome. It is acceptable to send home a small treat bag of individually wrapped treats. Please refrain from sending items with icing as this could cause major messes on the bus.

Students will be allowed to dress in a school appropriate costume (read specifics later in this paragraph), wear a fall shirt, Wildcat shirt or come as themselves. We ask that the costumes are school dress code appropriate and that there are No Mask, No Inflatable Costumes, No Weapons (including swords & sabers), No Gore, and No Blood. Students will NOT be able to change during the day. If they are dressing up, please make sure it is something they can be comfortable in for the entire day and that it is not a distraction to learning.

PTO Me & My Gal - event Friday, November 8, from 6:00-7:30 for JBE boys and their "gal". Their gal should be a trusted adult in their life. We will have snacks, games and activities.

Veterans Day will be celebrated at 2:30 on November 7th in order to allow our Veterans to attend more than one MCR2 celebration. Information will be sent home in Friday Folders. Please watch for the information and return it as soon as possible so that we can make plans to celebrate our Veterans.

We will again be hosting the JBE Larry Richards Club Food Drive from November 12th - 15th. If you can, please consider sending in non-perishable items this week to help others in our community.

Throughout the year, we will be implementing the JBE Mood Meter as a way for students to help identify their emotion/what they are feeling. There are many studies that show the importance of being able to name how you are feeling. It is our goal to help our students find words to express how they are feeling and to enforce that it is ok to have whatever emotion they have, but also that we are still responsible for our actions and our words. If they mention they are feeling a certain color, this could be what they are communicating to you. Check out the image below. We will support this goal through modeling at morning assembly, throughout the day in class and in our counseling classes. If you have questions, please reach out.

We have partnered with USAgain to collect clothes and shoes. This company will pay us 2 cents for every pound collected and will plant a tree (somewhere, not on our property) for every full bin. The bins are located on the southwest corner of our building. We will start spreading the word to the community soon and hope it will help the earth and raise a bit of money for our donation account.
