Dolphin Splash

Happy November! We hope you enjoyed the 3-day weekend. Next week, we look forward to meeting with families for Parent Conferences. Please make sure that you have a time scheduled. Check out the info below on how to engage with us in meaningful conference.

Are you a cleared VIPS and love a School Book Fair? Then, you are in luck! Our librarian, Mr. Rugeroni is looking for VIPS to help run our Book Fair after school during the week of December 2-6. If you are interested, please email him at: rrugeroni@lbschools.net or if you're volunteering, stop by the library the week of November 12-15 for more details.

During parent conferences, please come by and check the lost and found for any forgotten items. There are many jackets and sweaters that are looking for their owner. Please come claim them. Any items not picked up by the end of the month will be donated.

Thank you families for your participation! It has been so fun seeing our students excited about our School Store Fundraiser! Here are our current participation rates!

If your family has not participated, there's still time!

This safe and easy program is 100% online so there is no face-to-face selling, collecting money, or delivering products. Your child will receive a prize just for participating, and more prizes will be awarded when goals are reached.

Please help now. It really will make a difference.

Go to https://www.schoolstore.net/sid.t?0000276983 to show our valued teachers your support.

Family participation is the key to our success, and we are counting on you!

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.

Do you have a middle school student interested in participating in sports? Make sure to visit the doctor and complete the Middle School Sports Packet and submit it to the school nurse. Getting this done early helps ensure your child is eligible to participate in all our sports teams and programs throughout the year!
