JBHS APPRECIATION BREAKFAST 

A special thanks to our great partners at the Redding Ridge! With their help the JBHS PTSA was able to provide the JBHS Staff with a holiday breakfast before Winter Break.

 

RESHARING OF LISTSERV MESSAGE SENT DECEMBER 15

 

The following information was shared by Dr. Almeida at school with students and in a listserv message sent to families on December 15.

  • Mask Wearing - All students should be wearing masks that fully cover their nose and mouth at all times in the building, other than while actively eating. The school distributes dozens of masks a day to students who do not bring their own and our supply has run out. Starting after Winter Break, the school will no longer supply students with masks in the morning. We will keep a short supply on hand in the nurse's office and at the security desk in case a student’s mask is lost or damaged during the day.  Please ensure your child comes to school with a mask every day.

  • Lunch - When unmasked and eating lunch, all students must be sitting 6 feet apart from one another.

  • Tardiness - An increasing number of students are late to school. All students should be in their first period class of the day by 7:30 a.m. With athletics and afternoon activities picking up, a reminder that if a student is late to school they are not allowed to participate in after-school activities and athletics. 

Finally, although this item was not addressed with students, I would like to bring to your attention some of the student drop off procedures. Please do not enter the bus lane before 7:10 a.m. Buses need to quickly drop off students and continue with their other routes. Also, the inner loop is reserved for staff parking and adds a potential risk as staff and students are trying to cross the parking lot. We also ask you to be mindful of the speed limit and adherence to the crosswalks around the school. We understand we're all in a rush, but it is critical for the safety of our students that we follow these steps. Thank you for your continued support.

Mario J. Almeida, Ed.D.

Shapiro will be joined (via Zoom) by Tricia Fregeau, a Massachusetts teacher who coined the term “Piglet Mindset” and began using it as a teaching tool with her third graders. Fregeau’s ideas paved the way for a formal Piglet Mindset curriculum.
