As we enter into March, we are happy to share how well our students are doing through upcoming report cards (tentatively March 20th). These tools provide a great snapshot as to how we are progressing throughout the first two thirds of the year. We also have a chance to share thoughts during our March 12th parent conference. Since this is an abbreviated session (only one afternoon and evening), we hold these at the request of the teacher or parent. Thank you for your understanding, and we all hope we have a much warmer March!

Time sure is flying as we move into our Winter Break next week. With that said, we are planning our upcoming MCAS schedule for our third, fourth, and fifth graders. We are changing a few things this year, as we have noticed a large drop-off in the scores for our second day of work. In previous years we have tested on back to back days, but now we are spacing the assessments out in order to help avoid any sort of tiring. We are excited to see if this change helps our students perform even better! You will find a draft of the MCAS calendars for April and May below. If you believe your child will not be in attendance for one of their sessions, please let us know (nnorth@awrsd.org) so we can plan accordingly.

The staff here at JRB has had a chance over the past few years to order Briggs gear to show our pride for JRB. We are now excited to offer it to families too! Use this link, or click the picture above to check out what is there. We will add new items as they are suggested as well. Please take note if items are youth, womens, or universal. Feel free to make suggestions using this form.

March 12- Half Day Of School

Hello JRB Community!

I am looking for volunteers to mount artwork for this year's art show. You'd be working in the library Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. If you are interested in loaning a helping hand, please email me at kdisalle@awrsd.org.

Thanks so much!
