Sometimes it’s the simple things that make the biggest difference.
A consistent routine, a little planning ahead, and staying connected with your child’s school can help set the tone for a strong day of learning.
Those small habits add up—together, let's help students show up On Time, go All In, and keep the momentum going all the way to an Unstoppable fourth quarter!

During a recent professional learning session connected to the Marzano instructional framework, our team explored ways to strengthen student thinking, increase engagement, and continue refining instructional practices that support strong learning in every classroom.
This is what makes JBE so special. Our teachers are not only amazing educators, they are incredible learners who are always looking for ways to grow for their students.
A special shoutout to our teacher leaders, Amanda Shadinger and Jennifer Ventriglia, who collaborated with Principal Smith to facilitate the conversation and guide the learning.
We are so proud of our JBE team and their commitment to continuous learning and growth for our students. 💙💛







The students in Mrs. McIntyre’s first-grade class put their sentence building and expository writing skills to the test by explaining the steps for making a PB&J sandwich. 🥪
We followed their exact instructions… and let’s just say we had a lot of fun along the way! It quickly became clear how important good details are when giving directions. Great writing leads to great sandwiches!








During the assembly, we recognized our Students of the Month for showing what it means to care for others through their actions and kindness. We also celebrated students who reached important milestones with their IXL learning achievements.
It’s always special to take time to recognize the hard work, character, and dedication our students show each day. We are so proud of our Vikings! 🎉




The talented SMS band students gave a fantastic performance and shared a little about what it’s like to be part of the band program in middle school. It was a fun and inspiring experience for our students as they begin thinking about the exciting opportunities waiting for them next year. Students heading to middle school will have the option to join band, and this performance gave them a great glimpse into what that experience can look like.
A big thank you to their band director, Ms. Roberts, for bringing the band to JBE, and a shoutout to our own music teacher, Mr. Skrobinski, who even joined in on the trombone! 🎺
We appreciate the Stuart Middle School band for sharing their music with our Vikings! 🧡💙
Stuart Middle School will host its 6th Grade Showcase on Thursday, April 2, from 5:00–6:30 PM — a wonderful opportunity for our current 5th grade families to learn all about life at SMS.

This is a great chance to get questions answered and help your future middle schooler feel excited and confident about the transition. We hope to see many of our JBE families there! 💛
During the event, our Eco Action Team officers helped bring the story from Ms. Mason’s book to life through readers theater, creating a fun and engaging experience for everyone in attendance.
We are so proud of our students for representing JBE and supporting this wonderful event celebrating storytelling, creativity, and environmental learning. 💙💛
Our JBE students recently took time to reflect on our nation’s history and Florida’s role in shaping it by participating in the America 250FL Art Contest.
As part of the project, students explored how Florida contributes to our country in many ways, from space exploration and agriculture to tourism, military training, innovation, and environmental stewardship.
Their creativity and thoughtfulness really shined through in their artwork. We are so proud of the amazing pieces they created! 💙💛
