Jones Jaguars Newsletter

Good Afternoon Jaguar Nation!

We will not have school next week on Monday or Tuesday in observance of the extended Labor Day weekend, and will start the week off with Block days on Wednesday and Thursday. Please note that staff will be engaged in professional development on Tuesday.

This past week was a great one with our Blue Out Pep Rally and the first volleyball games of the season. Our Jones students did an amazing job in our Blue Pep Rally wearing blue, being loud, cheering for everyone, and even being super silent and respectful during our choir National Anthem. Our volleyball student athletes did amazing their first week and swept their opponent. Next week we are excited to kick off football—our 7th grade team will play at Jones, and our 8th grade team will play at Children’s Health Stadium!

As a reminder for all after-school sporting events:

• Students must go home before returning to attend games. We are unable to provide supervision for students waiting an hour or more before start times.

• Students who are not attending games with their parent must be picked up by 8:00 p.m., regardless of whether the game has ended.

• Please make sure your student has a plan to get picked up at the appropriate time after all events.

Please see the flyer below regarding our Jones Middle School PTO fundraiser starting September 3rd!

Have a great weekend! Go Jags!
