First Day of School Reminder – We’re Ready for Our Eagles!
Dear J.R. Ingram Families,
Tomorrow is the big day for our 1st through 5th graders—the first day of the 2025–2026 school year! We can’t wait to welcome our Eagles back to campus.
Kindergarten families:
Kindergarten will have a staggered entry and will arrive at 8:30 a.m.
Enrollment Documents:
If your child’s enrollment is missing any required documents, please submit those to the school office as soon as possible. This ensures we can keep accurate records and avoid any interruptions to your child’s school day.
Bus Rider Reminder:
Please keep in mind that bus routes may look a little different from last year with new students riding. This week, buses will not yet have kindergarten students, but starting next week, their addition will likely increase route times.
We appreciate your patience as our drivers work out the kinks in their routes to ensure all students arrive and get home safely.
Don’t forget—we have the Here Comes the Bus App, so you can track your child’s bus in real time.
Meals:
All students receive free breakfast and lunch this year. Check out the attached flyer for more details and helpful links.
We are super excited to get started and can’t wait to see all our smiling Eagles tomorrow morning! 🦅💛
Sincerely,
Melissa Brewer

A huge THANK YOU to our fabulous PTO for treating our staff to a delicious breakfast this morning! 🥐☕ Your generosity fuels our work and our hearts. 💛 If you’d like to help support our school, there are so many ways to get involved — from volunteering in classrooms to helping at events — every hand makes a difference! 🙌
After breakfast, we jumped right into our Opening Meeting — reviewing our Game Plan as we Level Up: Game On this year! 🎮
✅ We connected through fun, video-themed team games 🎥
✅ We reviewed data, explored the new District Strategic Plan, and dug into resources to keep us aligned in our mission 📊
✅ We got creative making custom ink pens — each one designed by our staff to write this year’s game blueprint 🖊️
✅ We broke into small group sessions around the school to sharpen our skills and strategies
It was so inspiring to be surrounded by familiar faces and new friends — all with the same passion for impacting our community and building up our children. ❤️
Oh, and yes… there may have been a little friendly Mario Kart competition in the mix while some were finishing up breakfast. 🏎️💨
Here’s to a year of teamwork, growth, and making this game the best one yet! 🎯 #GameOnJRI #LevelUp #WeAreIngram

🚨SWING SET UPDATE!🚨
We’re thrilled to announce that our swings are fully installed and ready for the 25-26 school year! 🎉
Of course, before we could let the kids try them out, a few of us had to do some very serious, very professional “safety testing”… you know, just to make sure everything was in working order. 😜💁♀️💁♂️
Good news: they passed the adult test! ✔️
Better news: they were professionally installed and fully inspected—no issues at all. They’re good to go!
We can’t wait to see our Eagles soaring high on the swings this year! 🦅💙

🎒 Kindergarten Loading… 🎒
Today we welcomed over 30 of our newest Eagles for Kindergarten Summer Bridge, and they came in with big smiles, even bigger energy, and a song in their hearts—literally! Principal Brewer rode the bus this morning and was serenaded by our young riders with an impromptu rendition of “Wheels on the Bus.” 🚌🎶
Our incoming kindergarteners got a sneak peek at life at JR Ingram: they toured the school, visited classrooms, explored learning centers, listened to read-alouds like Rainbow Fish, and even braved the heat to check out the Kindergarten playground. Most importantly, they made new friends and took their very first steps into what will be a wonderful journey of growth, learning, and joy.
Welcome to the family, Class of 2038—we’re wild about learning and so excited to watch you soar! 💙💛

🎨✨ Our students truly shined at the Festival of the Arts! ✨🎨
From bold brushstrokes to creative designs, their artwork was a beautiful reflection of their talent, imagination, and hard work. It was inspiring to see their creativity on full display during the art show — each piece telling a story and showing just how gifted our Eagles are.
The arts remind us that every child has a voice—and sometimes, that voice speaks through color, texture, and design. We are so proud of our young artists! 🖌️💛
