25-26 School Year Updates
JRP is excited to announce that we will be able to provide school supplies for our students this year. The only items families must provide for students are a backpack and a lunchbox if your student will be packing their lunch.

Each grade-level has created a list of OPTIONAL supplies that can be purchased for the classroom.

We will also have some backpacks available if your student will need a backpack.

Which class will have the best attendance each week?
4 days ago, Ashley Needham
Weekly attendance challenge. How it works: attendance will be calculated each week. The homeroom with the best attendance in each grade level will win the grade level attendance trophy for the following week dash along with bragging rights! The wedding teacher will also receive a special incentive as a thank you for helping students show up and show out! Let's build excitement around coming to school every day!
Kindergarten will join us next week during afternoon dismissal. Please see the attached flyer for important information about dismissal.

Car rider dismissal: beginning next week, our kindergarten students will be attending for the full day. We expect afternoon dismissal to take longer than normal due to the number of carriers we have across the school. If you have a student at another school, we are suggesting that you pick them up before you pick up your JRP student. We also want to remind you that anyone without a car tag should not enter the car line. They will need to park inside the student out in the office.
We will help our kindergarten and pre-K students learn their colors. If you are able, wear the color for the day that is listed on the chart!

At 5 or more unexcused absences a meeting with school staff will be scheduled. Students have 5 days to turn in parent and doctor notes.
