Hello and Welcome to JBE!

We are thrilled to welcome you to the JBE Family! My name is Brittany Kalivas and I'm the President of JBE One (aka PTO and Endowment combined into ONE awesome group).


What JBE One Does: The goal of JBE One is to raise $200k annually to pay for our Greenhouse teacher, Technology teacher, support Field Trips, our Boat Building Program, extra staff spoiling appreciation and so much more. You can check out our full budget on our jbeone.org website under Parent Info, JBE One, then Financials.


How JBE One does it: We have a rockstar Executive Board made up of 13 parents and they, along with their teams, make all the magic happen - from the Color Run Capital Campaign, Staff Appreciation Week, Back to School Nights, extra teacher support and so on! We're always looking for new faces! There are WIDE varieties of ways to get involved. Learn more on the site under Parent Info, Volunteer and sign up to get on the lists!


Neighborhood “Nests”: At JBE, we have created neighborhood groups that each have a Captain. Their job is to loop you in and make sure you, and all your neighbors, know all about what’s happening at JBE! The majority of information will come out from our Principal and our Newsletters, but your Hood Captain is a WONDERFUL resource! Enclosed is a list of captains - please reach out directly to your Captain to get looped in! Or if you have any issues, please email me directly at president@jbeone.org.


Uniforms: Are sold periodically throughout the year on the jbeone.org site. If you need uniforms and the window is closed, please reach out to us directly and we’ll help! Uniforms@jbeone.org and make sure to get an orange Field Trip shirt if you’re new!


We look forward to meeting you and your kiddos! We are here to help!


With a JBE Smile, Brittany and the whole 2025-2026 Exec Board

Capital Campaign Launches

We hope JBE has brought joy and a love of learning to your child’s life.  JBE One is the platform that represents the PTO and Endowment and is a team of parent volunteers working to put resources in place at the school that make an impact for every student, including yours. 

 The annual capital campaign raises money to fill the gap in funding between what the school receives from CCSD and what additional resources are required for school programming, activities, enrichment, learning and discovery.

 Starting today through October 22, our goal is to raise contributions from all 600 JBE families to fill the budget gap and help all students to have the tools they need all year. 

 Please click “Donate Today” on the lefthand side of your screen! 

 Money raised goes to programs that aren’t covered by the school budget but impact and benefit all students:  art instruction, music, technology and coding, French, special education, intervention for at-risk students, and special events such as field trips and after-school math and science camps. 

 Our target is $250 per family.  We would like all families to contribute to any amount you feel comfortable.   If JBE has helped your student, will you please consider supporting us today?  We need your help. 

 All donations are 100% tax deductible and are managed by the Coastal Community Foundation, the fiduciary that manages all JBE funds.  You will receive a receipt for tax purposes.   Have questions? Contact us at hello@jbeone.org Together, we can provide a world-class learning experience for JBE students!

 Thank you for your support!
