JBE's PBIS Principles:

Rule #1 - Be Cooperative - Follow Directions Quickly

Rule #2 - Be Respectful - Raise Your Hand

Rule #3 - Be Safe - KHFAAOOTY

Rule #4 - Be Responsible - Make Smart Choices

Rule #5 - Be Kind - Treat Others The Way You Want To Be Treated

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.

• 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.

MCR2 athletics and extracurricular activities are essential to our school culture, and our students benefit from their peers, family, and community members' support of these activities. The district asks that guests follow some basic guidelines to help make the activities a safe and fun experience for all spectators.

• Drugs, alcohol, and tobacco are strictly prohibited on our campus.
• Pets are also prohibited on our campus. Any animal on campus should follow BOE policy about service animals.
• All spectators are expected to remain within the general area of the activity they are attending (football game-concessions area or in the stands, basketball game-concessions area or in the gym, etc.). We also ask that students not throw balls or other objects during the activity.
• We expect elementary students to attend with a parent, guardian, or responsible adult.
• Please park in designated parking spots only so that all other areas of the buildings are accessible as needed. For outdoor events, special permission is required to park inside the gates (between the football stadium and the baseball diamond).

Join us for Family Fun Under the Lights on Friday, September 6th before the football game from 5:30-6:30.

Mark your calendars for Family Involvement Night, Book Fair and PTO Meeting on September 26th! We can't wait to see you at JBE!

This year, Mrs. Gambill, our school counselor will be highlighting a character trait each month. The month of September is Friendship! As the month goes on, please ask your students what they are learning in counseling class!

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.

Mark your calendars to join us for our first quarter Growth Parade and our Harvest Party Day Parade. This year, they line up to be on the same day. You won't want to miss it! It starts promptly at 8:05. Guests are welcome to sit in the bleachers to enjoy the costumes and celebrate our first quarter growth.

Harvest Party Parade is at 8:05 am on October 31st. Harvest Party information will come home at a later date. 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.

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.
