Good Afternoon Jaguar Nation!

We’ve had an amazing week here at Jones Middle School! Our 8th graders have officially begun the process of scheduling their high school courses for next year. Course selection for our 6th and 7th graders will kick off in early February, and we’ve included important information about that process below.

Parents, this is a great opportunity to start conversations with your students about their goals and interests for next year’s courses. To assist with any questions, we will host a Counselors’ Q&A Session on February 5th, where you can get guidance on course selections for the upcoming school year.

Next Week’s Upcoming Events:

• 1/27 7th Grade Boys Basketball vs HP @ Jones

• 1/30 7th Grade Girls Basketball vs HP @ Jones

Thank you for your continued support, and let’s make this semester the best one yet! Go Jags!
