Dolphin Splash

IMPORTANT MESSAGE: Please note that Metro & Dolphin Lane gates will be open from 7:30-8:00am in the morning and closed promptly at 8:00am when the bell rings. If your child is arriving later than 8:00am, please have them enter through the front of the school. Students arriving early for breakfast should also enter through our main gate at the front of the school.

As we approach the end of the school year, we want to remind everyone of the importance of consistent attendance and being on time. Each day of learning counts, and every absence or tardy can make a difference in a student's progress.

We ask for your support in ensuring that students are present and on time through the end of the year to maximize their learning and finish strong. This is especially important as we begin end of the year SBAC and ELPAC Testing.

Thank you for your partnership in your child's education!

With Dolphin Pride,

Mrs. Ngo

Targeted Parent Conferences are scheduled for Tuesday, April 1st and Wednesday, April 2nd.

Dear 2nd-5th Grade Families,

We will be dismissing students from the field gate as we have done in previous years beginning March 31st to minimize the congestion with middle school students and PE classes. We appreciate your support in ensuring a smooth and safe dismissal.

Thank you so much!

JROB Admin Team

JROB wants to shout out and share our appreciation for Long Beach Police Departments West Division Commander Greg Brown and his officers for their efforts in clearing Veterans Park for our school community to enjoy! This has been an ongoing effort between our school advocates, "Parents on Patrol," the Mayor's Office, LBPD, and other local officials to make sure that the park is a safe place for students and families to enjoy. Please continue reporting any suspicious or unlawful behavior to local authorities by phone, online, or through the Go Long Beach app.

JROB families! If your child is a multilingual learner, we will be beginning ELPAC testing. This assessment, given annually to students designated as English Learners is an important test that help us monitor and assess the level of support we provide to our multi-lingual learners. To help better understand the test, please explore an ELPAC practice student test with your child to help lower their anxiety and be prepared for the test!

Learn more about all of California's state testing here: https://www.caaspp-elpac.org/about

Our elementary student council has opened up an after school student store with snacks, drinks, and small stationary items for sale.

We will be also beginning our Fun Fridays Wheel next Friday where students will have the opportunity to spin our Fun Friday wheel for $1 and receive a chance at a prize!

Funds will be toward end of the year incentives, prizes, and elementary student council events.

We hope to continue strong enrollment at Jackie Robinson! If you know a TK or K family, please encourage them to begin the enrollment process now to secure their spot at JROB!

Spring Recess

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!
