As summer winds to a close, we are so excited to greet our students tomorrow as another school year is set to start!

There will be some administrative changes this year. Dr. Carissa Tress departed from her position of Assistant Director/Principal earlier this month. We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Tress for her time with JRTI, and we wish her nothing but the best in her future endeavors!

We are so excited to announce that Shelby Glover has transitioned into the Assistant Director/Principal role. Originally hired earlier this year as the Business Relationship Development Coordinator, Shelby was a natural fit for the Assistant Director/Principal role. Please join us in congratulating Shelby on her new appointment! 🎉👏

To our entire JRTI family: enjoy your last day of summer break. We will be here waiting for you tomorrow morning. Welcome back! 🎒✏
