Weekly Update
August 8th, 2023
All of us at Jeff West Middle School hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!
We are ready to hit the ground hard for the 2nd semester. All schedules for students are pretty finalized, please note we will not change students electives unless it is an easy switch. We can put them on the top of the list for the elective they didn't get for next school year.
Please make sure your student has logged into their skyward and looked over their schedule so they know where they will be going on Tuesday.
Please make sure chrome books are charged and ready to go as teachers will be having students get to work on the first day.
Few reminders if your child is going to be gone make sure you are calling the office by 9am in order for the absence to be excused, all absences that have not been called in will be marked as unexcused until we receive notification. Also please make sure you are bringing doctors notes especially if your child has missed 3 or more days in a row due to being sick. If you will be gone for vacation please make sure you let the office know and that you email your child's teachers so they are able to get them homework ahead of time.
If your child takes medicine at school please make sure you bring it into the office in the prescription bottle. Do not send it to school with your student as we will not be able to accept it.
Our After School Program will start back up the week of the 13th, this is offered Monday-Thursday until 4:30pm for students who are needing some extra support on their school or extra time to get their work completed. It is important that the students who are attending ASAP are there to work and will put forth effort and not distract other students or take away from their opportunity to work and learn.
We are excited to announce that we will be hosting a Career Fair on the afternoon of Friday, January 17, 2025. This event will provide our students with the opportunity to explore a variety of career paths, hear from professionals in different fields, and get inspired for their future.
We’re inviting parents, guardians, and community members to participate by representing their careers at the fair. Please take a few moments to fill out this form if you are interested in representing your career field on this day.
