Here At JRB

We can't thank the PTA and the parent volunteers enough for their great effort with the Holiday Shop. This event has become something that the kids talk about for weeks before, and the smiles during the sessions are infectious. Thank you all again!

December 23- January 1- No School, Holiday Break

January 20- MLK Day

January 21- Prof. Development

The nurse's office could us some donations of pants for all of our kids. From PreK to 5, pants are sometimes needed and we don't have many to send home. Sweatpants and leggings are preferred as they often fit many sizes. Thank you all in advance!

The staff here at JRB has had a chance over the past few years to order Briggs gear to show our pride for JRB. We are now excited to offer it to families too! Use this link, or click the picture above to check out what is there. We will add new items as they are suggested as well. Please take note if items are youth, womens, or universal. Feel free to make suggestions using this form.

Hello Families!

If your student is out sick with a fever, vomiting, and/or diarrhea, please see the following policies before you send them back to school:

• 24 hour Fever Free without the use of fever reducing medication
