JRC has created a
special web site for use by its
students. All staff, students and former
students have access to the JRC Student
Web Site. The web site is a source of
information for both staff and students
and has the features described in this
newsletter.
|
|
1. Discussion Board |
|
A very exciting
part of the student web site is the
discussion board (below is a typical
screen). This is a forum in which
students and staff share and discuss
ideas. Messages can be posted and
replied to. Each post must be composed
with correct spelling and grammar and
this serves as a valuable added learning
experience in English composition.
Students are encouraged to post in
several different ways. Each classroom
has a specific time set aside to read
and post messages. Students earn points
for posting constructive messages, and
each week the student who posts the best
suggestion earns money to spend in the
contract store which has a number of
attractive items for purchase.

|
2. Mailbox |
|
Each student
has a personal online mailbox
(below) where
he/she can receive mail from
teachers and administrators and can
respond to them.
|
|
3. Weekly Menu and Field Day Menu |
|
4. Wellness Program Resources |
| A new feature currently being developed will allow students to access the JRC Wellness Web Site, which contains a wealth of valuable information concerning nutrition and wellness. Below is a screen showing a list of books on the topic. |
|
5. Calendar |
|
Students can view
a calendar (below) that shows upcoming
events, such as home visits, field trips
and doctor's appointments. They can also
enter their own personal events on the
calendar. This is very useful for
transitional students who have many job
interviews and deadlines to meet.
|
|
6. Suggestion Box |
| Students can submit suggestions and complaints to the school administrators (see below). These suggestions and complaints can be submitted with their name or anonymously. All suggestions and complaints are taken very seriously and followed up on. |
|
Some of the other features of this web site include messages from former JRC students posted so that current students can see how former students are doing. Students can view desirable health goals and ask the nutritionist a question. Students have access to rules for all environments and situations at JRC. Each week, students who have met a certain criteria have their pictures posted on the home page of the web site. This can happen if a student earns the most points in a week or shows the most improvement in his/her academics or behaviors.. Students can also create a profile where they can list favorite movies, music artists, hobbies, and television shows. This way they can see if any staff or students share common interests. |
