While students will not return to school on Monday, JMS staff will gather with great anticipation for professional learning and preparation. We will be analyzing data, setting goals, and planning for our last leg of the 2023 school year!
First, a message of thanks for your flexibility and understanding during our dismissal on Friday. We know it was short notice, but between our parents, our bus drivers, and our school staff, it was orderly and quick, and all our students were away before the storm started. Again, we thank you for working with us.
As we begin our final round of benchmark testing this week, we are anticipating success in all of our classes!
Academically, we want to take the time to encourage all of our parent and families to check in with your child weekly, daily, through conversations about classes, projects, and learning goals. One excellent way to walk through some of the content and agendas for each class is to navigate CANVAS together.
All students participated in Success Assemblies this week; they were more than spectators as administrators reminded each grade level of our high expectations for behavior. Students took part in "pair and share" when questions were asked, they quickly responded in groups to presentation slides, and they were able to ask questions at the end of sessions.
We officially hit the midterm for Term 3 as we push for the finish line! A finish line is really the achievement of a goal and beginning of other goals. We are so very proud of our JMS Eagles as they reach new heights and explore new territory.
As we close another week of busy student Eagles and staff, we anticipate the upcoming week to be as such; we take pride here at Jefferson Middle School that we are busy doing the right things, the productive things, the best things!
We want our families to know how very much we appreciate that we are truly "all in this together", pushing our students to new heights academically, socially, and emotionally, every day, every hour. We encourage our parents to have evening conversations about their child's school day.
As this week has brought an assortment of weather patterns, we have also seen an array of activities, assignments, and academic endeavors!
