At our most recent English Language Advisory Committee (ELAC) meeting, parents expressed interest in Spanish Language Enrichment for JROB students. Please complete this interest survey to help us plan for Spanish Language Enrichment for our JROB Community.

The i-Ready For Family Student Reports for the recently administered Reading and Math diagnostics are now available in ParentVue for students that completed the test with their school site. Instructions for accessing these reports in ParentVue will be sent as a School Messenger as an attachment, to families with students in grades 1-8, on Monday, October 21st (evening). Additional resources to assist families in understanding their student's diagnostic results can be found online using the below links.

Family Resources:

• i-Ready Family Center
• Understanding Your Student’s i-Ready Diagnostic Results (PDF) English | Spanish
• i-Ready For Family Video (Video) English | Spanish
• Instructions for Accessing For Family Reports in ParentVue (PDF) English | Spanish

Please log into ParentVue and make sure that your address is correct. It is important to reflect the correct home school on the High School of Choice application. Also, if you have multiple children in LBUSD that they are linked/connected to reflex that they are siblings. (It is important if you have a child who is not currently a senior in order for the future incoming freshmen to be potentially considered when applying for a particular high school that a sibling attend). The deadline to complete these tasks is January 31, 2025.

Keep bringing in canned foods for our Thanksgiving Food Drive!

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:

1. If it’s a first offense, item will be released to student after school.
   
2. 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.
