MCR2 Athletic & Extracurricular Activities Reminders
MCR-2 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. The district asks that guests follow some basic guidelines to help make the activities a safe and fun experience for all spectators.
Drugs, alcohol and tobacco 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 expected to remain within the general area of the activity they are attending (football game-concessions area or in the stands, basketball game-concessions area or in the gym, etc). We also ask that students are not throwing balls, or other objects, during the activity.
We expect elementary students to attend with a parent, guardian or responsible adult.
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).
Thank you for your cooperation.

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.
