Meet The Teacher Night

This will take place at 6PM on Tuesday, Aug. 12. Parents can enter through Door 14 on the north side of JMS. We will do introductions and have a brief presentation in the auditorium and then follow student schedules for 5 minute classes and 5 minute passing periods. Teachers will have brief presentations to share to give you insight into their classes. There will not be time for individual conferences during this time. There will be time for those on Sept. 24 and Oct. 1. Students do not need to attend this evening event, but please bring their schedule with you so you know where to go each period.

Reminders

Car Line - Be sure to follow the established traffic pattern while picking up or dropping off students. Pull as far forward as possible before loading or unloading students to make the process more efficient. DO NOT park in the lot to pick up or drop off without permission. This leads to safety concerns.

School Fees - Textbooks are free, but there are other associated fees for the school year. Please be sure to pay these ASAP.

Lunch Money - Can be turned into the office any morning. Please put it in an envelope with the student's name on the outside.

Registration - If you have not completed the Registration process, please do so ASAP. Individuals that have incomplete forms will be contacted next week.

Teacher Information Teacher Information

The Social Institute

You recently received an email explaining our new partnership with the Social Institute. It contained information about the partnership as well as directions on how to register. This program comes with many resources that JMS will be sharing with families. Here is information regarding one of those resources:

Dear Families,

The Social Institute Playbooks equip students to #WinAtSocial by explaining how to use platforms for good — in language that relates to both adults and teens. All content within each Playbook is inspired by The Social Institute's conversations with students across the country and TSI's daily research on the latest tech trends and updates. Save time by skimming the latest and greatest tech updates, positive examples, and privacy tips – all in one place!

Our school believes that the Apple Devices playbook is relevant to your student(s) and family. Please take a moment to review this content in either English or Spanish, so that we can work together to help students make high-character decisions while using their apps and devices.

If you have not yet registered for the Social Toolkit, please go here and use our code (4be2A342C3C78D) to get started!
