ILEARN testing is right around the corner at Jennings County Middle School, and our students are ready to rise to the challenge! πŸ’ͺ Testing will begin on tomorrow, Tuesday, April 22nd, and continue through early May.

Throughout the school year, our students and staff have been working hard to build the skills and confidence needed for success. ILEARN provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate their growth and showcase all they have learned.

πŸ“… Testing Schedule Highlights:

🧠 CAT Testing – Math
April 21–23

πŸ“š CAT Testing – English-Language Arts
April 28–30

✍️ PT Testing – English-Language Arts

We know that strong routines at home can make a big impact during testing season. Families can support students by helping them:

πŸ”Ή Get a good night’s sleep each evening 😴
πŸ”Ή Eat a healthy breakfast before school 🍎
πŸ”Ή Arrive on time and ready to go ⏰
πŸ”Ή Bring a fully charged Chromebook each day πŸ”‹


At JCMS, we believe in preparing the whole student, and this is a great opportunity for our Panthers to show perseverance, focus, and pride in their work. We are confident in their ability to succeed and continue unlocking their potential each day πŸ”“πŸΎ


Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Let’s make this a strong and successful testing season!

Let’s go, Panthers! 🐾

On Friday, May 1st, JCMS will be celebrating the 8th grade class with an event called 8th Grade Glow Night! This will be a casual, memorable event for our 8th graders!


The event will take place this Friday, May 1st starting at 6:00 PM until 8:00 PM. Students should be picked up promptly at 8:00 PM. There will be pizza, desserts, and the concession stand will also be open for purchases. There will be games, dancing, a photo booth, and lots of other memory-building experiences with classmates. Students are encouraged to wear neon colors or something that will glow under a blacklight. Just remember that the school dress code still applies!

Come and enjoy the fun!

A couple of reminders:

  • Students must be in attendance for the school day to be able to attend.
  • Discipline issues can affect a student being able to attend.


Parents/Guardians:

If you would like to volunteer to assist that evening, please reach out to Mrs. Garrett, Mr. Rigby, or Ms. VanLandeghem!
