EJMS Jaguar Weekly April 14 - 18
Keeping our School Community in the Know
From Principal Pickerill's Pen
EJMS Families,
We have a busy six weeks remaining in the school year! A separate Remind message was sent directly to 8th grade families, but here is a list of 8th grade end of year information.
Fees from Chromebook Damages
According to the Chromebook contract that was signed at the beginning of the school year: Failure to pay fees may mean students cannot participate in school-sponsored events.
Please note: all school fees, including Chromebook damage replacement costs, must be paid in full in order for students to be eligible to attend extracurricular activities which includes field trips and dances.
Please make sure you login to IC parent portal and pay any outstanding fees on your child’s account. You can also bring money to the office to be applied to the account balance.

Online Registration is OPEN for the 2025-26 School Year
ONLINE REGISTRATION (OLR) is now open for the 2025-26 school year. Please help by going online and registering for next year. You can register your entire family at one time, even if children attend different schools in the district. OLR completion is one required step to ensure your child receives their Chromebook at the beginning of next school year without delay. Thank you in advance! If you have any questions or need help remembering your password please call the school at (859) 885-5561. Visit to complete your OLR: https://www.jessamine.k12.ky.us/o/jcs/page/olr

Reminders Regarding EJMS Expectations
Families, as the weather gets warmer, we want to remind our school family of the approved dress code. You can read the entire policy here. One specific area that we notice is the increase of shirts being cut around the neckline that reveal undergarments. A reminder that the dress code states the following:
Section 4: Students may not wear:
Any clothing that reveals visible undergarments (waistbands and straps included)
Thank you in advance for helping ensure your student is dressed appropriately within the guidelines.
