Join in the Fun

Hello Family!

If you missed the PTO meeting tonight, we hope you will attend the next one.  We have some great new ways to communicate.  If you are here, you've found one of them!  Yay!  

We encourage you to comment, like, and share our posts.  

The other new way to communicate is our new Facebook group!  It's a group dedicated to all things PTO and JCIB PG Campus!  We know there's already a support group for middle years, but we really want to have a group that is driven by the PTO. If you want to join us in that group, click here.

OK, now that you're connected, join in the fun.  Introduce yourself and meet some other parents at JCIB PG Campus!  Let's grow our community!

    Hey there! I was wondering if we should think about having a PTO booth at the open house? Since there wasn’t a booth/table at registration I thought that this will help with membership. Let me know how I can help - if you need me! -Tara Howard

Adolescent Drug Use: Part 2

MEET LAURA  Laura Hope Laws was an active member of her Atlanta church’s youth group. She was known for helping people in a time of need, but she couldn’t help herself—she had a heroin use disorder. At 13, Laura experimented with alcohol and marijuana; at age 14 she started misusing prescription pain medications prescribed for a broken jaw, which led to an opioid use disorder. When her doctor quit prescribing them, she took other people’s pills and eventually turned to a cheaper and more available drug: heroin. She reached out to her family and they helped with treatment programs. Laura eventually spent 30 days in a residential treatment program, but the drugs were stronger than she was, and she relapsed and started taking heroin again. In the end, Laura overdosed on a mixture of the opioid morphine, alcohol, and cocaine when she was just 17. This is an example of drug use progression. At the same age as some of our children, Laura started experimenting with drugs and alcohol....

The Importance of Extracurricular Activities

Hi Family, School is in and we are getting into our study and homework routines.  Our children are learning.  The teachers are teaching.  The classroom routines are well on the way.  What more could there be?  Well, there are the extracurricular activities offered through the school.  Are you on the fence about your child being involved in extracurricular activities?  Let's talk about the benefits. Cultural Integration Many new students can experience “culture shock” when they first arrive at JCIB PG Campus. It's literally a whole new world. Some are in a school far from home with new students and new teachers.  The teaching style may be very different from what they are accustomed to. Getting involved in extracurricular activities can help students overcome this sensation and allow them to intimately understand the culture at their new school in a way that the typical classroom environment may not provide. For example, joining a student g...

Adolescent Drug Use: Part 1

Hello Family, In coordination with red ribbon week, we'll be posting some snippets about drug use among adolescents. Here's the first in our series. As a parent, it is hard to believe that my middle schooler could be doing drugs. But, the truth is substance abuse in teens is an ongoing reality in the United States. Though the rates are lower than rates in 1990, the rates of drug use in middle school and the number of 11- or 12-year-old kids doing drugs in the United States are alarmingly high. Close to 5 million American adolescents suffer from substance abuse or alcohol use disorder. These stats should raise eyebrows and catch all of our attention because adolescent drug use can severely affect their futures. The younger a person is when they start using substances, the greater the chance they’ll become addicted. The immature adolescent brain is also uniquely susceptible to irreversible brain damage from drinking and drugs. Studies show that marijuana and alcohol use tod...
