If you have been waiting on a code for your family, please be on the lookout for an email from do-not-reply@reaxium.com with the subject line, "You have been invited to the MyReaXiumApp!" and be sure to check your spam/junk folders if you are unable to locate it.

Hello Rocket Families, We are so excited to welcome our students back on Monday, August 12th. Please remember the new school hours are 7:40-2::00. Student supervision on campus begins at 7:10. Please ensure your child is not dropped off before this time. All student drop offs must be made through the bus loop. Cars are not permitted through the bus loop (in the front of the building) until after the tardy bell rings at 7:40. At this time, you will need to park along the bus loop and walk your child into the office to sign them in. JDP Dress Code is still pending board approval, but hasn't changed from previous years. A copy of that can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dYNK5d1j4a6xH_Fzt6y-euLTT6ERz8nehHVqdZRQ7eE/edit?usp=sharing School bus routes can be found on the district webpage. It's going to be an AMAZING year! #jdprockets #fueledbylearning #ignitingminds #soaringtosuccess
