Principal's Message

June 1, 2025

Dear Rocket Families,

What an amazing year it’s been! I’m incredibly proud of our students—your creativity, kindness, and perseverance made our hallways sing with learning. Thank you to our families for your unwavering support and to our dedicated staff for going above and beyond each day.

Enjoy a safe, fun-filled summer! Take this time to rest, explore, and make wonderful memories with your loved ones. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another great year of discovery and friendship.

Please be sure you have completed Online Registration for the 2025-2026 school year.  All families need to update and/or verify their data in Infinite Campus.  If you are going to be new to the JRES family next year, you will also need to complete Online Registration.  Please see above for information about Online Registration and a list of our summer Office Hours.  

Links to grade level school supply lists will be posted no later than July 7, 2025.  Please note, school staff will always ensure your student has the materials they need to be successful!

Enjoy your summer,

Leslie Shultz
Principal, Jody Richards Elementary

PTO's Proposed Improvements

The JRES PTO is absolutely crucial to all the little things that make JRES such a neat place to learn each day!  They have sent us on school-wide field trips at no cost to the families, organize the Holiday Shop, provide all the new equipment for the STEM lab, manage t-shirt sales, celebrate the staff, and many other contributions!  

Their current goal is an ambitious goal, but it is one we can surely attain and it will generate so much joy for ALL students!  Please take a moment to look at the proposed playground additions (image at left) that are inclusive AND engaging!
