Outdoor area updates and PTO Fundraisers
We have made our first official purchase for our outdoor space. Swings are on their way! We are excited to take this first step in developing this space. This purchase was made possible by our campus fundraising efforts in the fall and partnering with PTO. We appreciate all of their hard work and your continued support of both our campus and PTO!

Drop off/Dismissal and Bus Rider Reminders
- Please stay off of your phone in the drop off/pick up lines! Distractions lead to accidents.
- Please do not go around cars during morning drop off.

- Please pull forward when dropping students off in the morning to eliminate traffic backing up.
- If picking up student early, please do so before 3:30 to avoid bus lanes.

The JNCISD Transportation Department has communicated new Bus Behavior Expectations and Consequences. They can be found on our district website or by clicking here.
If your student is a bus rider, please continue to remind them of their behavior while on the bus. We want to keep everyone safe. Behavior concerns on the bus are reported back to student's home campus and consequences will be given. First offenses result in a 5 day bus suspension.
