Dolphin Splash

Thank you for continuing to encourage your students to be in uniform, on time, and ready to learn everyday through the last day of school. This past week, I was so excited and proud to award students for their test taking strategies and stamina! Let's keep it up next week as we continue with SBAC ELA testing and SBAC Science for grades 5 & 8.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Principal Ngo

P.S. - We are starting to see more and more students out of uniform. Unless your student has a free dress band, please make sure they are coming to school in a collared shirt or JROB spirit shirt. Outwear should be school colors: solid gray, black, white, or blue.

Dear Families:

Get ready! The Scholastic Book Fair is coming our way (YAY!). Choosing their own books empowers kids and inspires them on their journey to becoming lifelong readers. AND—as always—every purchase at the Fair benefits our school.

Here’s what you need to know about the big event, which will take place from May 20th-23rd at Library.

Say goodbye to cash and hello to eWallet—your child’s digital payment account. Before the Fair, set up eWallet for worry-free, cash-free purchases. Anyone can contribute! Share each child’s eWallet so friends and family can add funds and give your kids more books to enjoy.

If you can’t make it to the Fair, then shop at our school’s Book Fair online. All orders ship directly to your home, and shipping is free for book orders over $25. Every online purchase will also benefit our school.

Visit our Book Fair homepage to learn more and get started with eWallet and online shopping:

The countdown to more Bookjoy is on! Catch you at the Fair!

Happy reading,

Mrs. Ngo

Principal, Jackie Robinson Academy

We are looking for VIPS to assist with our spring book fair from May 20-24 after school. Please make sure to sign-in and alert the office that you are here to work at the book fair!

CLEARING ABSENCES:

• Parents/guardians must clear all absences within 5 school days. After this time, parents/guardians must contact the school administrator for approval.

• To clear your child’s absence, contact your child’s school. A parent/guardian can also send a note with their child or click on the link below to access the digital absence form online

• Parents/guardians must clear all absences within 5 school days. After this time, parents/guardians must contact the school administrator for approval.

• The LBUSD allows parents to excuse up to three (3) consecutive days or ten (10) illness absences in the school year without verification of illness from a medical professional or school employee (School Nurse). Anytime your child has a doctor’s appointment and/or documentation requiring them to stay home from school, provide this verification immediately to the attendance office when your student returns to school. These absences will be recorded as excused. If verification is not provided, the child's absence will be recorded as unexcused until documentation is received. Per district policy, absences extending beyond the three (3) day consecutive rule or ten (10) illness absences in the school year will be considered unexcused, unless a parent/guardian provides a doctor’s verification to the school. If a student suffers from a chronic condition that may affect their attendance, a parent can submit a Certification of Chronic Medical Condition Form, so that absences related to the illness can be excused.

During the 2023-24 school year, illnesses can also be cleared through documentation of positive COVID-19 cases from a doctor’s office, health department, lab or home test. If a student is ill or is exhibiting any COVID-19 symptoms, they should stay home and notify the school. The school’s parent notification system will contact you when your child is absent ( if you have requested notifications via phone or email).
