Please make sure that you call in (833-662-6228 press 5 then press 1) prior to 8:30 if your child is going to be absent so that we can record the reason before we begin making contact. If communication is not received in regard to student absences a few things may happen.

• You will receive an automated message letting you know your student is absent.
• You may receive a personal call from our office staff.
• You may receive a visit from our SRO, or Kylee Waite, our MCR2 Social Worker.
• You will receive our 3-day, 5-day and 8-day attendance letters regardless of calling in. These letters are board policy and are sent to all student families when they hit the 3, 5, & 8 day threshold.
• As a building we are striving to be higher than a 95% average EACH MONTH.

Since fall sports and activities are in full swing, we are sharing the expectations for spectators. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

MCR2 athletics and extracurricular activities are an important part of our school culture, and our

students benefit from their peers, family and community members' support at these activities. In

order to maintain an enjoyable environment for all, the district requires that guests follow some

basic expectations to help make the activities a safe and fun experience for all spectators.

● Drugs, alcohol and tobacco (smoking, vaping, etc.) are strictly prohibited on our campus.

● Pets are also prohibited on our campus, any animal on campus should follow BOE policy

about service animals.

● All spectators are required to remain within the general area of the activity they are

attending (outdoor events-concessions area or in the stands, indoor events-concessions

area or in the gym). Patrons are also not permitted to be throwing balls, or other objects,

during the activity.

● We require elementary and middle school students to attend with a parent, guardian or

responsible adult (18 or older).

● Please park in designated parking spots only so that all other areas of the buildings are

accessible as needed. For outdoor events, special permission is required to park inside

the gates (between football stadium and baseball diamond).

As a district, we have moved to a new communication platform. As some of you have experienced, we have run into a few snags in our rollout of the new resource. Please download the MCRII app and modify your notifications so you know when messages are sent your way.

***Some parents have been unable to log in with their e-mail, but have had success by using their phone number.***

Once a "Room" is created that impacts you or your student, you should not have to "accept" it. It should just appear. There is also the option within the feature to send messages to staff members.

We are working on fixing the barriers we know of. If you are experiencing a barrier, please reach out and let us know.

Calling the school and using e-mail are still completely appropriate methods of communication if you prefer.

Thanks to several generous donors we will be taking a whole school field trip to Rooster's Farm the afternoon of Friday, October 10th. Permission slips will be sent home in this week's Friday Folder. Please take note of the following details about the trip.

Details about the field trip:

• It is a closed event and only pre-approved adults will be allowed to attend.

• All adults must have a valid background check on file. Please inform your student's teacher if you need a fingerprint request form.

• Each student is allowed ONE free adult. Additional adults will need to pay $6. Please send with this slip.

• Only Jonesburg Elementary students will be allowed to attend. Please do not bring other children.

• All non-employee adults must provide their own transportation.

Our JBE Student Council is hosting their first Change the World Day on Wednesday, September 17th. They will host one each month for a different cause with a different spirit day. Every change the world day is a hat day. Students are encouraged to bring in "change" donation or dollars to give to the cause.

This month donations are going to NRG (local backpack program to help with food insecurities) and the spirit day is Country Roots Day (wear overalls, plaid, bandanas, cowboy boots, etc.) or Hat Day.

Join us for Family Fun Under the Lights on Friday, September 19th before the football game from 5:30-6:30.

Thank you for supporting our school and helping us make Picture Day a success. We look forward to seeing those smiling faces on Thursday, September 18, 2025!

JBE will be hosting our first fundraiser of the year very soon! We will be selling a variety of soaps. Please help us raise money for our school. Our PTO helps with events at school such as GRAND's Day, Me & My Gal and Me & My Guy, they support needs of the classroom and this year we are going to be fund raising for equipment on the future intermediate playground.

Please look for the order form in Friday Folders on September 26th and help us sell some soap.

This is a reminder that only students & staff will be allowed in the building during morning drop off time. The entrance by the powercat will be open at 7:30. The drop off line is for people to pull up, drop off and drive away. You are welcome to walk your student to the front door. If you wish to get out with your student, PLEASE PARK in a spot to do so. Parking in the drop-off line creates confusion and is not safe for our students.

For the first two days of school, parents/guardians WILL BE allowed to walk their student to the classroom. We ask for your cooperation in making this drop off as quick as possible to minimize the number of guests in the building at one time as our students will be learning new procedures. School starts at 7:50 with a virtual morning assembly. When that begins, we ask that all parents/guardians exit the building.

Please help us prepare your student for the first day. If your student does not want to eat school breakfast, they should go directly to their classroom. If your student is eating school breakfast they should go to the cafeteria, get their grab and go breakfast and then go to their classroom to eat.

Students that ride the bus will need to know upon entering the building if they are eating breakfast or not. This will help us get them into the correct line.

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. Our lists primarily consist of wishes and wants to enhance our space(s). Our district and community do a great job of supporting our needs. Thank you for considering supporting our wishlists. 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!
