Outdoor area updates and PTO Fundraisers

PTO is currently doing a fundraiser - sales close February 6th! Keep an eye out this semester for other opportunities to support our PTO and JNI!
Cell phone use reminders
We are seeing an increase of student cell phone use during the school day. As a reminder, students should have their devices turned off and put away while at school. Students can use them to text or call parents with permission from teachers.
Enjoyed celebrating our 4th and 5th Grade UIL Participants!
How about those incredible ball skills from our 5th graders during halftime?!!
Some incredible science projects from our 6th graders!
Drop off/Dismissal and Bus Rider Reminders
- Please stay off of your phone in the drop off/pick up lines! Distractions lead to accidents.
- Please do not go around cars during morning drop off.
- If arriving after 8:20AM - students need to be brought into the front office and signed in.
- Please pull forward when dropping students off in the morning to eliminate traffic backing up.
- If picking up student early, please do so before 3:30 to avoid bus lanes.
*Parents, please remember to bring your Drivers License with you when picking up students - thank you!
The JNCISD Transportation Department has communicated new Bus Behavior Expectations and Consequences. They can be found on our district website or by clicking here.
If your student is a bus rider, please continue to remind them of their behavior while on the bus. We want to keep everyone safe. Behavior concerns on the bus are reported back to student's home campus and consequences will be given. First offenses result in a 5 day bus suspension.
