A Note from Principal DeVito
Course selection for next year begins next week for our current 6th and 7th graders. Our counselors will be visiting classrooms to introduce new courses and elective options, helping students explore their interests. Please take a moment to discuss course choices with your student. See more details about course selection below.
Jones students have done an outstanding job embracing Minga! Next week, we will launch our Minga Rewards, allowing students to redeem points earned from events and positive recognition for actual rewards. I am truly impressed with our Jaguars engagement and enthusiasm!
Upcoming Events Next Week:
📅 2/4 – Incoming 6th Grade Parent Meeting @ 5:00 PM
🏀 2/4 – Rock Hill Basketball Middle School Night @ 5:00 pm - See flier below
📅 2/5 – Course Questions with Counselors @ 8:30 AM

Counselor's Corner
The counselors will visit 7th-grade classes on January 31st and
6th-grade classes on February 3rd to discuss course selection.
They will return on February 19th to assist students with entering their courses into Skyward,
if they haven’t already done so.
Skyward will be open from February 3rd to February 21st.
There's no rush, as it’s not first come, first served—feel free to take your time!
We will also be hosting "Questions with Counselors" for
6th and 7th-grade parents (Future 7th and 8th Grade Parents) at
Jones on February 5th from 9:30-10:15 AM.

Middle School Night @ Rock Hill HS
Rock Hill HS - Valentine Grams
It is almost that time of year, where we show our loved ones just how much they mean to us!
The Rock Hill Floral Studio is proud to present our staff with the first look into our Floral Valagrams. These arrangements are going to be made by our students to allow them to showcase their knowledge and skills of floral design!
Attached is our flyer with a QR if you would like to order. I will also drop the link to order here:
I hope that THISTLE arrangement will just show your special person just how much you love them! IRIS you all a Happy Valentine's Day!
