EJMS Families,

We hope everyone had a good week. Friday, November 15th marked midterm of the 2nd nine weeks and grade reports will be available in Infinite Campus on Friday, November 22nd.


Individual Learning Plans

The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) mandates that all students in grades 6-12 complete their Individual Learning Plan (ILP) each year. Jessamine County Schools uses Major Clarity as the main platform used to achieve this goal. Each year, students are required to reach 100% completion for that school year’s ILP tasks. Major Clarity offers a wealth of information to help your student learn and explore information related to personality traits and learning styles as they may relate to future employment opportunities, along with details regarding career paths and occupations. Students this year will work on their ILPs via Writing or Math Concepts classes, and Core Connections classes (depending on their schedules). We encourage you to explore the attached information and ask your student to log into their Major Clarity account (via Clever) so they can show you what they have been working on this year. Feel free to reach out to your student’s grade level counselor for more information.

World Kindness Day

During the school day on Wednesday, some of our students made posters celebrating kindness for each grade level hallway. Students also created cards with messages of kindness for Red Oak Elementary and others.

Spotted being Kind

You can always tell a jaguar by its spots and an EJMS jaguar by the kindness that they share. Students could shout out peers they caught being kind. These five students, the t-shirt winners, were among those spotted being kind Wednesday.

Sources of Strength

Congratulations to our 6th and 7th grade Sources of Strength peer leaders who completed their training this week. Peer leaders work to increase help-seeking behaviors and strengthen the connections among students and caring adults at our school. We can't wait to see these student leaders in action!

Look for this section as a regular part of our newsletter with information for parents and families from both the district and our school. To begin with, we wanted to share the policies that detail our vision for parent and family engagement in Jessamine County and at EJMS.


Please take a look at our district and school parent-family engagement policies. We would love to hear any feedback you have for these policies.
