You can support PTO in a variety of ways including attending meetings and events, buying items from the fundraisers, and volunteering your time to help at events.

Montgomery County Cancer Supporters Easter Egg Fundraiser is going home in backpacks today. Students will be bringing home a plastic Easter egg to fill with change. Eggs will need to be returned by Wednesday, April 13. The class that raises the highest amount will win donuts for their class.

The Montgomery Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution provided our kindergarten classes with American Flags. Shirley Swearingen spoke with the students about the importance of the flag and how to care for your flag. Thank you to the DAR.

Our third-grade students have been enjoying visits from Ms. Izzy Freymuth as our Ag Education on the Move instructor. She has done a great job of engaging the students in the Ag Education lessons she is presenting. In this picture, she is showing them the different phases of chickens in an egg.

We have been given the tentative go-ahead to look into planning spring field trips. Teachers will share details as they become available! Please know that like with everything right now, plans are tentative and can change at any time.

Please know that if you plan to attend the field trip, you will need to fill out our volunteer application and pass the school-approved background check. This process does not happen quickly so if you are interested in attending the field trip, please contact your student's teacher or the JBE office for more information.

The Jonesburg Optimist Club sponsors the Jonesburg Elementary 5th Grade Optimist Student of the Month. In order to receive this award, students make their classmates feel that there is something special about them, they look for the positive or sunny side of everything to make their optimism come true, and they forget about the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Each Student of the Month receives a plaque presented by the Optimist Club.

Congratulations to Emma G and Jordan F for being the Jonesburg Optimist Fifth Grade Students of the Month for March.

Terrific Kids is a student-recognition program that promotes character development, self-esteem and perseverance. “Terrific” is an acronym for Thoughtful, Enthusiastic, Respectful, Responsible, Inclusive, Friendly, Inquisitive and Capable.

Please help us by using this COVID Home Screening Tool. Please communicate with the school office if your child has symptoms and you are keeping them home.

Breakfast and lunch are free this year. If students want a second entree, it will be charged as a full lunch. Please notify Mrs. Chris by sending a note or e-mailing cfuthey@mc-wildcats.org if you give permission for second lunch.

If your student brings lunch, but takes a milk, there is a $0.45 charge. Kindergarten and 1st grade students have the option for milk break.

This milk also costs $0.45. Please send money in a clearly labeled envelope if your student plans to eat a second lunch or have additional milk. They will only be allowed a second lunch if they have money on their account.

It is important that all families fill out a free and reduced lunch application. If you need another copy, please let the office know.

The Box Tops program has made it easier to collect Box Tops and support your school. Download the Box Tops App, select Jonesburg Elementary (our zip code is 63351), then scan your receipt after you go shopping. No more clipping and saving. You can track our progress on the app. We appreciate your support!

This year, more than ever, it is important to keep your child home if they are sick. Please communicate with our office when you are keeping your student home. We may reach out and ask about symptoms etc. We are in constant communication with the Montgomery County Health Department for guidance and support.

I know that there is a certain amount of anxiety involved with receiving attendance letters from the school. Please know that we are mandated to mail attendance letters after your students 3rd, 5th and 8th absence. This DOES NOT mean that we are going to call the truancy officer. On the back of the letter you will see the dates of your students absence and the detail that we noted when you called in. As always, we will be in touch if we have specific concerns. Please continue to communicate with our office about your students attendance.
