Good afternoon, Jefferson Middle School Parents!

We hope this finds you staying well and safe!  Because of the current school closure situation, we have unfortunately had to cancel our Spring Orientation events that occur each year in our building. Yet, we realize that parents and students receive so much information about Jefferson Middle School at this event that we had to find a way to create a digital version to provide as much information as we could.

Our staff has worked hard to provide our parents and students with a virtual Orientation/Open House experience!  In addition, we have included the Course Curriculum/Registration Pages so you can move forward in preparing for the 2020-21 school year. All rising 6th-8th graders must complete their elective choices in skyward by May 18th.

The information is listed by grade level below for your convenience. Students can see these files in the JMS School Counseling Canvas course, under Modules. All information will be provided in this Sunday’s Parent Newsletter and is also housed on our website.  You can simply click on this link to see our Spring 2021-2022 Digital Open House Orientation AND Course Curriculum and Registration pages!
