Welcome
Dear Parents and Community Members,
We will continue to provide a safe, caring, and positive environment promoting learning for ALL students. We pride ourselves on enforcing a firm, fair , and consistent discipline policy. Our teachers, staff, and I will continue to serve and guide students, daily, on a path that will give them the social skills necessary to empower ALL students for success. To accomplish our goal of preparing our students for life after high school, JBHS has and will continue to implement various research-based programs. These programs include but are not limited to, mentoring, counseling, social skills, and Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports.
JBHS continues to show progress, growth, and success through our peer and teacher-student mentoring program. Along with our mentoring program, I am proud to announce that JBHS has been nominated as a PBIS Model school again for the 2024-2025 school year. As a PBIS School, we are proactive in understanding why behavioral issues occur and implementing strategies to mitigate them.
I believe the key to success is building relationships. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. comments or concerns.
Here at JBHS we are a collaborative community committed to the success of 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
