JN_R decided to go with her both to help Ruby and avenge Pyrrha. They got involved in Ozma's war with Salem when Tyrian attacked them in his quest to kidnap Ruby, leading to Qrow saving them, and them wanting to know just what was going on. They were filled in, and while they had reservations at first, they stuck with Ruby and Qrow and went to Mistral, then chose to keep fighting when Ozma told them they were free to leave.

They're still here because they were forced into this conflict, and they wouldn't feel right just sitting out. It helps that they still do want to avenge Pyrrha, and just because she isn't constantly referenced doesn't mean she is forgotten. Sad thing is, people use the talk Qrow had with Ruby as "evidence" that he was manipulating her into going to Haven and justifying Jaune's claim that Qrow was using her as bait. Yeah I think people forget that Ruby and the others are adults in everyones eyes when it comes to riskign your life. Entering Beacon where you acn die during initaion basically seals that deal, why wouldn't Qrow tell her, what so wrong about someone with battle experience being infomred about it. Especailly when we know Ruby is not hesitant to put herself at risk liek when she numeriously took on the White Fang, hell if they can enturst the dangers of a MAiden into Pyrrha they sure as shit consider them adults. Beacon hardly comes of as a school but more as a institute ofr mercenary like profession. It compeletly within reason for him to inform her.

And hate people suing manipulation as if they doing it with evil, selfish or bad intent, it informign and influencing something evey milartary, and profession does. She's going to try to stop them anyways might as well inform her so he could actually watch over her and know where shes going. Was Qrow using her as bait? probably not, but so what if he was I doubt he'd let his niece die its or that she couldn't handle a few Grimm or normal people. We saw in the first three volumes that she clearly could.

Also Jaune's not a jerk for being wary of Qrow the same why Qrow isn't for not being fully oipen right off the back to newbies.
