Tomorrow, July 19th (for 7th grade) and Thursday, July 20th (for 8th grade), we are open for Schedule Pick Up at JCMS. Please come and see us between 9 am and 3 pm each day.

10:30 am-12:00 pm Last names starting with D-M

If the times listed are inconvenient for you and your family, please feel free to come anytime during the evening Schedule Pick Up. Evening Pick Up is on July 19, from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm. During Pick Up we have a variety of stations for you and your student to visit: student schedule, student ID card, sports, nursing/health, PTSO, and Chromebooks. We also encourage students to tour the campus and find all their classrooms; this can help alleviate stress on the first day.
