The Family Network promotes communication and the exchange of ideas on adolescence and parenting among JBS parents. Programs focus on family relationships, teen development, peer and academic pressures, and substance abuse prevention.
Subcommittees include:
Parenting Together Programs: Grade-specific presentations/discussions are led by JBS principals and counselors, as well as outside professionals. Two parents per class organize two or more meetings per year.
Book Clubs: Parents work with faculty to plan six faculty-led book presentations/discussions per year and a year-long discussion of one book, led by a member of the Counselling & Wellness Department. Parents also work with the librarians to organize a meeting on summer readings.
Health Days for 10th-12th Graders: Parents work with the Counselling & Wellness Department to provide snacks and greet presenters.
Parent-to-Parent Events: Parents coordinate evening and educational programs for JBS parents.
