Robert H. Jenkins, Jr. Elementary School -

Welcome to Kyle Coleman who will be working in our Math Intervention Lab. We are so happy to welcome him to the Ram Family.

We are excited to welcome Mrs. Jammi Beverly to our staff. Our Ram Family is growing.

We will be having our annual meet and greet on Thursday, August 7, 2025. Grade levels Kg. 2nd, 4th and 5th can come anytime between 10:00-2:00. We are asking that 1st Grade, 3rd Grade, and 6th Grade parents and students meet in the cafeteria at the designated times for a meeting and then the opportunity to get schedules and paperwork. This meeting is very important for parents to understand the requirements at these particular grade levels.

We would like to welcome Mrs. Heather Gibson to our school. She is coming to us from Clay County and has a phenomenal background in student services and counseling. We are so excited for her to join our Ram Family and bring in her advocacy for our students.

We are pleased and excited to welcome Mr. Lucas Bennett to our campus as the Assistant Principal at JES. We are so glad you have joined our Ram Family.

As we get ready to welcome students back on August 11th for the 2025–2026 school year, we encourage all families to prioritize student health and safety now. Please ensure your child’s required vaccinations and physical examinations are up to date before the first day of school. Vaccinations can be completed through your child’s healthcare provider or the Putnam County Health Department. If your student will need prescription medication or treatments during school hours, please provide a current, signed physician order. Over-the-counter medications require a signed parent consent form. For detailed health requirements and resources, visit our district Health Services page: https://www.putnamschools.org/page/health-services Thank you for helping us keep our students healthy, safe, and ready to learn!
