Are you planning on going on your students field trip? Do you have a background check on file? Call the school office or e-mail Mrs. Rachel at rhans@mc-wildcats.org to make sure you are good to go. If you have not gotten a background check, please let your students teacher or the office know that you need a form. You must fill out the paperwork and return it to the office in order to get the code you need from Central Office to complete the background check. Call us with questions - 833-662-6228 ext. 4103

Ole Town & JBE PTO are teaming up for kids. Eat at Ole Town on the first Tuesday of the month from 4-8pm and the JBE PTO will receive 10% of the total sale. Take a break from cooking and help support the JBE PTO, students, and school.

These Future Wildcat forms are coming home in Friday Folders. Help us identify our Future Wildcats so we can plan and prepare to welcome into our JBE Family.

Mark Your Calendars for our upcoming Preschool and Kindergarten Screenings. Keep an eye out for more information about how to register your student for screening!

It’s time to order your child’s 2025–2026 yearbook! This is your opportunity to capture and keep the special memories, friendships, and milestones from this school year.

Jonesburg Elementary
Deadline to order is 03/25/2026
Yearbooks start at $16.00

Visit our school’s store to order: https://shop.yearbookmarket.com/jonesburgelementary

Purchasing a yearbook not only gives your student a keepsake they’ll treasure for years to come but also supports our school’s programs and events throughout the year. Thank you for supporting our school and helping us celebrate another year of memories at Jonesburg Elementary.

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.

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.
