Anson Jones Middle School

Cougar Community,

We are 11 days from our Thanksgiving Break, and here at Jones MS, we have so much to be grateful for. It is so nice to finally feel the change in the weather, and hopefully we can begin wearing those sweaters.

Our Volleyball and Football athletes ended their seasons and played with pride and integrity. Our Fine Arts musicians, dancers and actors have been putting on some amazing shows. Our students have definitely found a home in Jones MS, and we appreciate their wonderful energy.

Please continue to keep track of your student's grades and attendance on the NISD Home Access Center (HAC). It is really important for parents to stay up to date of their student's educational information. If there is anything you see on HAC that seems off, please do not hesitate to reach out to your student's teacher for any clarifications. Also, please review your student's attendance...for your student to be successful in school, he/she must be here everyday.

We are coming to the beginning of our Basketball season, so please takes some time to review our NISD Parent/Coach Communication Guide and Spectator Responsibilities (Below). Our students are exhibiting great sportsmanship at our games, and this make us so very proud. We continue to be amazed by our students, and we would like to thank all of our Jones MS parents and guardians for their dedication to ensuring our students meet their goals. It takes all of our efforts to make all of this success possible.

WE are the PRIDE OF PINN RD

We are looking forward to an exciting year and continuing our success by reaching new goals for our new year.

In closing, our teachers, staff and administrators are ALL IN for OUR students, and we appreciate the AMAZING students you have sent to us. Your help and support is critical in the success of all of our students. Also, please consider joining the AJMS PTA to continue to help out our community.
