Weekly Update For 04/18/22

Dear JMS Parents,

Here are the important dates and information for the week:

  • Parent-teacher conferences are this Wednesday, April 20th, from 4-7pm.  They will be held as a grade level team and need to be scheduled in advance.  Your child’s teacher should have reached out to you to schedule a time.  Please contact any of your child’s teachers if you have yet to schedule a time.

  • Testing for 8th grade MSTEP Science and Social Studies will be this Tuesday and Thursday, April 19th and 21st.  8th grade parents, it is crucial that:

    • Your child has a good breakfast the morning of the test.

    • Your child gets a good night's sleep before the test.

    • You talk with your child about the importance of doing their best on this test.

    • Your child gets to school on time, as this is a timed test and will have to make up the test at a different day/time if they are late or absent on this day.

  • Sports: TRACK

    • Friday, April 22nd, Away vs. Hillsdale @ 3:00pm

  • We are trying to keep the softball and baseball fields free from any damage during construction. Please talk with your child and remind them to stay off of the fields after school hours.   There is an area behind the bleachers, or the park at Wright St. where the students can play.

  • After school tutoring and athletic study hall will be available every Tuesday and Thursday from 2:50-3:50.  Any student wishing to attend may show up as long as they bring work.  Athletes will know in advance if they must attend.  *Students cannot remain in the school past 4pm, and should have transportation available after tutoring.

  • If your child is absent from school due to an illness or appointment, please call the office in the morning and let us know 517-849-3210.

  • Students who are quarantined are required to complete all classwork while they are away from school.  Your teacher should have Google Classroom or Schoology set up to deliver all assignments and instruction.  Failure to complete assignments on time will result in a lowered grade.  If you are sick, please let your teacher know so an exception can be.
