We have a small group of students who graduate each year from Grade 12, and this year three students will graduate. A school counselor, currently on educational leave, is part of the administration team. The school enjoys a positive working relationship with the locally-elected School Board. The school has a full-size gymnasium, shop facilities and home economics facilities. The gym and other facilities are frequently used by community groups for activities outside of school hours.
Staff is encouraged to become involved in community events, activities and organizations.
Staff members frequently serve as facilitators and organizers of school and community events. Programs JBS follows the Alberta Learning curriculum with some modifications to meet the unique goals of the community. Each student receives 40 minutes per day of Cree language instruction, both written and oral. Special Programs English is a second language for all JBS students. While children are learning English, they sometimes need to spend extra time in primary grades.
