JMMS Updates

August 14, 2026

1. ALL parent drop-off and parent pick-up takes place on the West side of the building.
   
   
2. Morning drop-off begins at 7:15am each school day. Students enter through Door 5W and sit in the Gold Gym until released to class.
   
   Please ensure that you follow the directions of adults at Parent Drop-Off. The goal is to have every car pull as far forward in the drop-off zone as possible, unload quickly, and proceed through the line. Please do not stop early in line for your child to exit. This is for everyone's safety and helps to expedite the drop-off process.
   
   
3. Buses use the east side through Doors 20E and 21E.
   
   
4. Afternoon pick up procedures remain the same from previous years. (SEE MAP BELOW)

**Remember, as a best practice, students should exit the vehicle on the curb side of the vehicle. Drivers should not move the vehicle until all students exiting are safely on the sidewalk.**

• Charge your Chromebook on August 17.
• Students will receive and wear ID badges.

• Reasonably sized bookbags are permitted.
