We are really ALMOST finished with 2023-2024. So much to be thankful for, so much excitement, and so many new steps on the horizon for students. We are still full steam ahead with project-based learning and game like activities to maximize our time in classrooms. Students are learning content to jump start NEXT year.
We are really ALMOST finished with 2023-2024. So much to be thankful for, so much excitement, and so many new steps on the horizon for students as we welcomed rising 5th graders this week and are preparing our 8th graders with resumes to attend the "Get Hired" event at Roane State.
We are finally finished with our TCAPS! However, the show must go on! Students will continue to have learning opportunities in every classroom, much of it hands on and project-based. Our Eagles are expected to finish strong, and we appreciate our JMS families helping us to remind students to do their best every day, every class period, every minute!
We have ONE more testing day left. Your students take these tests seriously, and we are very appreciative. All we ask is that they come to school well-rested and with a mind to finish their testing strong.
We will continue to run the announcements and information below in our letter to parents, as we are now one week into TCAP testing! Our benchmark data shows that we are preparing your students well. Historical data shows that we outperform our own benchmarks when it comes to the TCAP exam.

We in are our final regular week before we start TCAP testing. Our teachers will be pushing to teach remaining standards and review hard with your students. TCAPs are one of the ways in which we measure your student's progress. It is important, but YOUR STUDENT IS MORE THAN A TCAP score.
Our teachers spent Monday of last week reviewing student scores and data in the most meaningful ways to best prepare our students for end of year TCAPs. We also kicked of our final data snapshot meetings last week, meeting with Math and ELA teachers. We want our families to know that teachers, instructional coaches, and administrators work together alongside of you to ensure we are maximizing your child's potential in every area.
As we approach our two-week calendar break, we will be busy with testing in the building this short four-day week. Our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade benchmark testing is happening each day. Remember, these tests are formative so that we can best carry on with instruction based on the data. We appreciate your help in ensuring that students are well- prepared, present, and on time each day.
