• We would also like to welcome our new 7th grade counselor, Mrs. Kimberly Goree, to JCMS as she will be replacing Mrs. Sonya Jones who retired after 25 years of service to Mansfield ISD. Mrs. Goree has a wealth of experience and we're excited to have her as a part of our Coble Coyote family of educators.
• School starts at 8:45 am, but doors will always open to the school at 8:15 am. We ask that students do not arrive too early as we will not have adults on duty before 8:15 am to supervise them. Also, we do not want our students here too early to be waiting in the extreme cold weather over the next few days and weeks to come. It's not safe!
• As in the mornings, we ask that students be picked up or leave off campus no later than 4:30 pm in the afternoons to diminish wait times.
• Updated 2nd semester schedules are now located in the Skyward access portal. Students can now see their schedules and follow the new schedule as some semester classes may have been changed.
• Please contact your child's teachers for any class information going into 2nd semester.
• Please remind students to they must take out their Chromebooks and binders out of their backpacks to enter the building through the EVOLVE machine. The line will move faster if this is done expeditiously. We do not want to keep students waiting in a long line outside in the cold weather.

We are thrilled to announce the return of our annual Cultural Fair, a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the rich diversity of our community! To make this event a success, we need your feedback and support.
