Robert H. Jenkins, Jr. Elementary School -

Help us celebrate literacy week next week by promoting the importance of reading. Challenge yourself, your child and your family to read a book and plan an activity to go with that book. Please share any pictures you take on our page. We can't wait to see what our families are doing to promote reading for fun!

Please consider joining our district for a wonderful family event. This will be a great time for our 6th grade students to learn about the pathways they can take in high school. Our district has so much to offer and we want to make sure EVERY student has an opportunity to follow their dreams.

The Acceleration Applications are live today, on-line. We are encouraging anyone who has a student starting Kindergarten to please apply. If you have a child in any other grade, you can go to the live, on line application and fill it out for your student. Call our school or Mrs. Raburn at the district level if you have any questions. FYI: This application is now completely online, however if you need assistance, contact Mrs. Hawk or Mrs Adams at the school.

On Monday, Jan 26, 2026 we will have a Family Literacy Night. This is sponsored by New Wold's Reading, NEFEC and JES. Please use the QR code or the links below to pre register so we can make sure we have enough books and food for our families.. Papers will also be backpacked home.

Don't forget the opportunity to support our Robotics Teams as well as our 1st Graders.
The Winter-grams will be delivered to any student on our campus. Each gram will have two STEM puzzles to put together that make a 3D reindeer and Christmas tree. The profits of this sale will help sponsor our Robotics team in competitions.
Our first grade team is selling a Dominos card. This will give you discounts on ordering pizzas.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to any of the first grade teachers or Mr. Gallagher in STEM/Robotics.

A first for Putnam County. Here's an opportunity to see beautiful lights this holiday season.
