Achievment Night date change
Due to the snow days we have had and the addition of a school day on May 22, JMS has decided to move Achievment Night to Thursday, May 21. This allows us to keep our normal, end of the year routine with Fun Day and the 8th Grade Holiday World trip on the last day of school. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
JMS 2025-2026 Yearbook

Dubois County CARES
Dubois County CARES is currently conducting a needs assessment to better understand the gaps that remain around youth alcohol and drug use in our community, as well as a program assessment of our current programming.
As part of this effort, we have developed two brief feedback forms:
A Community Needs Assessment for parents and community stakeholders
A Student Feedback Form for students in grades 6 and up
The student form includes feedback for those who have participated in CARES programming, as well as questions about broader youth needs for those who have not.
Community Needs Assessment (Parents & Staff):
