Jones Jaguars Newsletter

Good Afternoon Jaguar Nation! 🐆💙

We had a short week, and we are kicking off a new nine weeks! Make sure you are checking your grades, staying on top of assignments, and setting goals for a strong start to the quarter.

Next Friday, October 23, is our annual Halloween Dance! 🎃 Check out the flyer below for ticket information. This is always a fun event for our students, and we will have a costume contest, so start planning your Halloween costume! We will also have basketball in the gym for students who want to get out on the court and have some fun with their friends.

We look forward to seeing our Jags there! Have a great weekend, and Go Jags! 🐾

Families,

We had a GREAT turnout for our UIL Academics first contests, but we DO still have some openings. If your student is NOT already on more than ONE team already, you can sign up on this form to be considered to be added to the team rolls. We allow up to 10 on each team in each grade level. Note that many of these teams already have members. We are doing this first come, first served so fill your form out quickly for the events you are SURE that your student want to compete in. Coaches will reach out to you about practices if they have room on their team when you sign up.

You will note on the form that not all teams are listed. If a team/event isn't listed for your grade level, the team is full. Make sure to ONLY select options for your grade level.

Since the initial calculator tryout tests were misplaced, we will be redoing the calculator tryout. If you are interested in participating in calculator please make sure to fill out the form above as we will not be using the initial interest form, and have it completed by Monday, Oct 19th.

We will continue collecting names of students interested until all teams are full or until the end of this semester, whichever comes first.

Please reach out to Ms. West with any questions or concerns.

For the first time ever, parents who are PTO Members will be welcome at a

Jones Middle School exclusive event
