Jones Jaguars Newsletter

Good Afternoon Jaguar Nation,

We have wrapped up another outstanding week at Jones Middle School. Our boys and girls basketball teams officially kicked off their seasons, and our students represented us with pride and sportsmanship. In addition, our 7th grade students showcased impressive work as they presented their social studies projects to their peers in our Jaguar Nation Space. Their preparation and engagement were truly commendable.

Prosper ISD will be hosting Launch Your Journey meetings at all high schools when we return from break. Please see the information below in our Counseling Corner to learn more about the programs and opportunities available at each high school.

As we head into the Thanksgiving Break, I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to all of our families. It is an honor to serve the students, staff, and community of Jones Middle School, and I am genuinely grateful for the partnership we share.

Wishing each of you a safe, restful, and enjoyable week.

Go Jags!

Zach DeVito
