Office Information
eBikes and eScooters
School policy states that "Students are prohibited to operate motorized vehicles to or From JMS." The eBike craze has snuck up on us this year!! We realize that several students are now riding them to school and it has been a valuable transportation option for parents. We will allow this option for the last month of school, but we wanted to make parents aware that our policy will be enforced next year. We don't want parents spending money on an eBike over the summer anticipating that it will be allowed as an option next year. The same applies for the electic scooters.
DC Trip Reminders
Students will depart from JMS by 12:15 on Thursday and will return around 7AM on Monday. All luggage needs to be at JMS by 11:45 on Thursday. Students are allowed one carryon bag and one suitcase. They will not have access to their suitcase until about 10PM Thursday night. Students received a "What to Pack" document today at lunch. Please reach out to Mr. Hubster with any questions.
Info from the JMS Nurse
Incoming 6th grade Parents/Guardians,
Just a reminder! The State of Indiana Immunization law requires all students entering 6th grade must receive a Menactra (Meningitis) and Tdap (Tetanus/Diphtheria/Pertussis) vaccination prior to the first day of school. Students not receiving the required immunizations may be excluded from school and the absences will be unexcused.
Please make an appointment with the Dubois County Health Department at 812-481-7050 for your child to receive the required vaccination.
To All Parents/Guardians,
If your child brought medication to school this school year: Rules and
Regulations prohibit medication from being sent home with students in grades K through 8. Unused medicine for students in those grades must be picked up by the student’s parent/guardian or an individual over 18 years of age with written authorization from the parent/guardian for medication pick up.
This includes all medications-prescription or over-the-counter. We realize that this may be an inconvenience, but it helps to ensure the safety of our students.
Medications may be picked up during school hours only, Monday-Friday from 8 am to 3 pm. Any remaining medication after May 22, 2026 will be disposed of per school policy.
Please feel free to call Jasper Middle School at 812-482-6454 for any questions regarding this matter.

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.
