One Tribe Rises Newsletter

Thanks to our amazing students for another great week at JNMS. Our students are actively engaged in class learning all kinds of cool things! From creating science experiments and solving equations in the classroom to creating art, music, plays, and competitive wins in extra-curricular activities, our Indians are rising to the standard! This is the time of year when the honeymoon phase wears off and the grind begins. Together, we must stay committed to embracing the TRIBE core value of Tenacity. As classwork becomes harder and days become longer, we must continue to be diligent, persistent, and to never give up, knowing that true growth only comes from stretching our abilities! The end of the first six weeks grading period is coming up in a few short weeks on September 25th. Please remember to check grades through the parent portal and reach out to our staff if you have any questions! Work hard, be nice, have fun, and stay positive. One Tribe Rises!
