The St. Louis Cardinals are proud to partner with your school to bring Fredbird & Friends

Elementary School Program presented by Raising Cane’s to your student. We will help the school

community think about the question, “What makes a good teammate?” A member of the

Cardinals organization will accompany our beloved Fredbird to your school’s assembly to

promote the program’s key messages: Be Active! Be Responsible! and Be Yourself!

Fredbird & Friends was designed to be a fun, interactive way for students to better understand

how they can be successful at school, at home, and in life.

This includes:

• Being physically active and participating in extracurricular activities and clubs;

• Valuing what makes them unique as well as the contributions of others;

• Working together with peers, teachers, and family members; and

• Seeking out help from the adults in their lives who can help them achieve their goals.

We’ve provided teachers and school leaders with materials to help them get ready for the

assembly. You might hear your student mention an essay contest or other activities their class is

working on to incorporate the program messages. Our goal is to provide enriching opportunities

that make learning fun. We’ve also encouraged the school to decorate in Cardinal Red in

preparation for the big day!

We invite you to join us for the assembly! Families are an important part of the school

community, and our program is reinforcing messages that you may already be emphasizing with

your student at home. We hope that you also continue the conversation about teamwork at

home after our visit to your school.

We look forward to working with you and your student. If you have any questions about the

Fredbird & Friends Elementary School Program presented by Raising Cane’s assembly, you can

contact your school or visit cardinals.com/school program.

🚌 Happy Bus Driver Appreciation Day! Thank you for safely getting our Wildcats to and from school. We appreciate you! 💛

Our hallways will be decorated with encouraging decorations. Please remind your students to eat a good breakfast, get a good night's sleep, use their tools, and believe in themselves. We believe in them and know you do too!

Please do not "park" in the morning drop-off line and get out to walk your student to the door, come talk to staff, etc. If you need to get out of your car, please park and walk up to ensure that the line can continue to move smoothly. If your student tends to take a little longer to unload, please pull up past the powercat so the line will continue to flow safely and smoothly. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation with our efforts to maintain the safety of all riders.

Please DO NOT block the handicapped accessible parking spots. We have several people that need those spots and have been unable to use them because they are blocked.

If you are not the one who picks up your student, please inform your designee of these important procedures.

**Reminder from the handbook**

Recess is scheduled for children to take a break from school studies. Every effort is made for children to have recess outside. All students are expected to go outside for recess as weather permits. Appropriate clothing should be worn according to the weather conditions. If students do not have appropriate clothing, every effort will be given to provide children with clothing from the nurse’s office. A student must have written or a medical excuse for an extended excuse from recess. In the event that weather conditions are not conducive to outside play, children will have an indoor recess period. The guidelines for indoor recess are when outside temperatures are 20 degrees or less or the outside temperature when combined with the wind chill factor of 20 degrees or less. If the heat index is 100 degrees or above, students will remain inside during recess.

1. We encourage you to fill out a Free & Reduced Meal application to see if you qualify.

2. If you do not qualify and your student eats meals at school, the fees are as follows:

1. Full price breakfast - $3.30

2. Full price lunch - $3.70

3. Reduced price breakfast - $0.30

4. Reduced price lunch - $0.40

3. Extra milk and milk break costs $0.50 per student no matter the free and reduced status.

4. Students are not allowed to charge more than $10. If your student owes more than $10 then they may be offered an alternative meal in lieu of the daily lunch choice.

5. Please send in meal money in a labeled envelope. If you are interested, there is an option to pay online through the online parent portal.

6. Past due balances will be sent home most Friday’s and texted to you..

7. District phone reminders for balances under $5 will begin soon. You are welcome to send in money or pay online at any time.

8. As always, if you have any questions, please call the Jonesburg Elementary Office. 833-662-6228 ext 4101.

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.

Jonesburg Elementary friends, family & community our Amazon Wish Lists are available if you are interested in supporting a classroom(s) at Jonesburg Elementary.

We will share these lists periodically throughout the year.

If you do choose to purchase something and want to ship it to JBE, the address is 106 Smith Road, Jonesburg, MO 63351.

We know we are blessed with a very supportive community at JBE and we appreciate you more than you know! Your continued support makes our job much easier. Thank you for loving our students as much as we do!
