2023 Spring Federal Programs Advisory - Tonight at 5:00 pm at MCMS
Dear Parents, Staff and Community Members,
The Montgomery County R-II School District receives federal funds each year through Title I, II, and IV. Our district uses these funds in a variety of ways to support our students and instructional programs. Each spring a committee of staff members, parents, and community members evaluate those Title services based on survey responses, student achievement information, and other data sources. It is time for that annual spring evaluation meeting. Please join us in the conference room of the Montgomery County Middle School on March 29 at 5:00 p.m.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jocelyn Schluss, Assistant Superintendent

Volunteer Authorization & Fingerprints for Field Trips and other volunteer opportunities
We will be using the same process that we have used for the past couple of years. After you fill out the paperwork and complete the fingerprint process, you will be good for six years.
If you think you have already completed this process, you can ask your students teacher to check or contact the Joneburg Elementary Office.
If you need to complete the process, you can download the pdf's below or request a hard copy of the paperwork from your student teacher or contact the Jonesburg Elementary office.
You will need to return the Volunteer Authorization Form and the Fingerprint Privacy Notice to the JBE office. We will then send it to Central Office and Melissa Lockhart will reach out to you via e-mail for the next steps of your process.
DO NOT go get fingerprints without going through this process because you must have the school's code in order for them to be sent to us and for us to receive the results. If you have any questions, please reach out to us so we can help you.

Jonesburg Elementary Meal Reminder
Jonesburg Elementary Meal Reminder
Meals are not free for everyone this year.
We encourage you to fill out a Free & Reduced Meal application to see if you qualify.
If you do not qualify and your student eats meals at school the fees are as follows:
Full price breakfast - $2.85
Full price lunch - $3.25
Reduced price breakfast - $0.30
Reduced price lunch - $0.40
Extra milk and milk break costs $0.45 per student no matter the free and reduced status.
Students are not allowed to charge more than $10. If your student owes more than $10 then they will be offered an alternative meal in lieu of the daily lunch choice.
Please send in meal money in a labeled envelope. If you are interested, there is an option to pay online through the online SIS portal.
Past due balances will be sent home most Friday’s.
District phone call reminders for balances under $5 will begin soon. You are welcome to send in money at any time.
As always, if you have any questions, please call the Jonesburg Elementary Office. 833-662-6228 ext 4101.
We will have a drawing on Friday, September 9th for all students whose families turned in a Free & Reduced Lunch application at any of the MCR2 buildings this school year.
Morning Drop Off Procedures
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.
HELP US ENSURE YOUR CHILD'S SAFETY AT THE END OF THE DAY!
It is important that you have a consistent routine for your child to follow at the end of each day. If you need to make a change to your child’s normal routine you must send a note with your child in the morning.
In an emergency, you may call, but you MUST speak to a secretary before 2pm. Do not leave a message on the school answering service. The answering service is to report absences only, and it is not checked throughout the day. ONLY call in the event of an emergency. A note should be sent if you know in advance of a schedule change.
We will not make any changes after 2pm. Our goal is to get every student safely to their correct destination at the end of each day. We need your help to make sure this happens.
