Good Afternoon Jaguar Nation!

We had a successful first week of the 2nd quarter! This week, we hosted our first-ever Pre-Athletics Nights for football and volleyball—both were a huge success, with over 150 sixth graders participating! A big thank-you to our coaches for creating such a memorable experience for our students.

October is always a fun month filled with dress-up opportunities and events that engage our students. Next week, we will have our pink out pep-rally on Thursday, October 23rd! We encourage all of our students to wear pink to support breast cancer awareness.

Our Jones Middle School Halloween Dance is happening tonight—Friday, October 17th!
