Welcome

Dear Parents and Community Members,

At JBHS, we remain steadfast in our commitment to providing a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where every student can thrive. We take great pride in upholding a discipline policy that is firm, fair, and consistent—ensuring all students are treated with respect and care.

Our dedicated teachers, staff, and I work each day to guide students on a path that builds not only academic achievement but also strong social and emotional skills. Our ultimate goal is to prepare every student for success beyond high school.

To support this mission, JBHS continues to implement a variety of research-based programs, including mentoring, counseling, social skills development, and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). As a PBIS school, we take a proactive approach to understanding the root causes of behavioral challenges and use effective strategies to support positive outcomes. We also work closely with our Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) team to ensure students receive the help they need.

We are proud of the growth and success we have seen through our peer and teacher-student partnership with the Boys and Girls Club. These efforts are a testament to the strong sense of collaboration and community that defines JBHS.

I believe that building strong relationships is the foundation of student success. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, comments, or concerns. Together, we can continue to support and empower ALL students.

Mrs. Lauren Thompson, M.Ed.

Cell Phone Policy

Cell phones and wireless devices must be TURNED OFF, stored away and not used during school hours unless under the direction of the teacher for instructional use only. Cell phones may be used only after school. If there is an emergency, students must go to the front office and they will be allowed to use their cell phone. Cell phones and wireless devices that are found in the “on” mode (including text messaging) during school hours will be confiscated until a parent can recover it from a school official during assigned hours.

Cell phone pick-up: 3:15 pm - 4:00 PM

Bullying

The Martin County School District is committed to preventing bullying in our schools. The District has established a new telephone hotline that allows any individual to report cases of suspected bullying via a voicemail system. We ask that calls to this hotline include as much detail as possible about the incident(s) so that it can be investigated. You may choose to leave your name and contact information or you can make an anonymous report.

To access the Bullying Prevention Hotline:

From any School District telephone, dial Ext. 37188

From any non-School District telephone, dial 772-232-3500, Ext 37188
