School Board Meeting Thursday! Woodlawn Beach Middle School at 5:30.
Hi! My name is Amber Lunsford, and I am thrilled to be a teacher at Jay Elementary! I grew up in Chumuckla and graduated from Pace High, then the University of West Florida in 2013 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. I love seeing children learn and grow! I have 15+ years of experience teaching and working with children in a volunteer setting. I have spent the last 12 years working in marketing and accounting, and I am so excited to finally be combining my professional career with my enthusiasm for children and learning. My husband, Tanner, is a manager at Emerald Coast Growers and we have three children that all attend JES - one in kindergarten, one in third grade, and one in fourth grade. Outside of work, I enjoy being outdoors, fishing, reading, and coaching soccer. I am actively involved in church, where I have been the preschool director for over eight years. I am so excited about this new journey and cannot wait to meet you all! 💙🐾🤍
This morning, an incident took place in our parking lot during student drop-off. This incident did not involve any Jay Elementary staff members. This incident was a non-school-related matter that involved law enforcement that occurred on our school campus.
All students and staff are safe, and the school day is continuing as normal. We are cooperating fully with law enforcement as they handle the situation.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

Hi! My name is Riana Smith, and I’m so excited to be joining 4th grade as the new Science and Social Studies teacher! I’m a proud alumni of JES and JHS! I graduated from UWF in 2019 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing and spent two years working as a Registered Nurse before following my true passion of teaching. I began my journey in education as a paraprofessional in 2022 and have spent the past three years teaching CBSA Pre-K at JES. My husband, Cody, and I are blessed with two wonderful boys, ages 3 and 11 months old, who will one day be proud Royal Cubs! I am so excited for this new chapter and can’t wait to meet everyone!💙🤍🐾
Parents, we will be having our Book Character Parade on October 24th this year! 🎉Plan ahead to help your child dress up and come at 1:30 to watch them parade around the PE track. Whether it's a DIY costume or something store-bought, it’s all about celebrating stories and sparking imagination. Students can stop by the library if they need help choosing a great book! This is one of our favorite events, don't miss it!
~nothing scary please, our Littlest Royals will be enjoying this event and we don't want anyone to be afraid.
JES teachers, staff and bus drivers received a SWEET reminder from our admin team. "We would CRUMBL without you!"

💻🎉 Happy National IT Professionals Day! 🎉💻
Big shoutout to Mr. Allen, our tech superhero at Jay Elementary! Whether it's fixing a laptop, connecting to the Wi-Fi, or helping us figure out why “it just won’t print,” Mr. Allen is always there with a solution (and a lot of patience 😅).
Today, JES took time to remember a very important day in our country’s history. Patriot Day is a time when we honor the heroes and helpers from September 11, 2001, and think about how we can be kind, brave, and caring—just like they were. Our students learned about being good friends, helping others, and showing love for our community. ❤️
We are proud of our Little Royals for showing respect and kindness today and every day!
