UPDATE YOUR INFINITE CAMPUS ACCOUNTS
Each family needs to update their students' Infinite Campus accounts each year. If you haven't already updated your account, please do so. The directions for this are in the links on the registration flyer.
If you are going to be new to JRES or WCPS, you will also need to complete the registration online.
Rocket Families, we need your help! If you know of people new to our district, please help them get their students registered as soom as possible. This will help us plan our classes for next year.
Many outside agencies send in information asking us to pass it along to families. Groups like Warren County Parks and Recreation and the high school teams offering camps for elementary students are two common examples. In this section, you will find these offerings. Many of these are at an additional cost to families and are completely optional. We are just helping to connect interested parties! The newest additions will be on top.
The JRES PTO is absolutely crucial to all the little things that make JRES such a neat place to learn each day! They have sent us on school-wide field trips at no cost to the families, organize the Holiday Shop, provide all the new equipment for the STEM lab, manage t-shirt sales, celebrate the staff, and many other contributions!
Their current goal is an ambitious goal, but it is one we can surely attain and it will generate so much joy for ALL students! Please take a moment to look at the proposed playground additions (image at left) that are inclusive AND engaging!
UPDATE APRIL 12, 2025: The first phase of playground improvements occurred in the Spring of 2024 when the black rubber mulch was replaced by the blue rubber mulch. Then, the PTO ran into complications when they learned the ground under the existing playground wasn't draining properly. In October of 2024, the PTO paid for the appropriate draining to be installed under the existing playground. Over the winter the PTO paid for a huge portion of the new equipment. The remaining cost of the equiment and installation is being covered by an interest free loan the PTO plans to pay back as quickly as possible.
As soon as the ground thawed in 2025, the PTO hired contractors to level the ground under the site of the futire playground expansion. We have been assured by the manufactuers/distributors of the playground that the JRES PTO is first on the list for installation. Currently, we are waiting for the nighttime lows to consistently stay above the 40's so that installation can begin!
UPDATE: We won the March Madness Trophy!
