We are off to a great start to the school year, and it has been wonderful to see our students back and engaged in learning. As we begin our second week, please know that we will continue to address any behaviors that distract from learning or impact the safety of our school community.
Our goal is to partner with you in supporting your student’s success. If you have concerns about grades or classroom expectations, please reach out directly to your child’s teacher. For other concerns, you may contact your child’s counselor or administrator. A chart with names and assignments is included below for your reference.
Looking ahead, we invite you to join us for Back-to-School Night on Thursday, September 22, from 4:00–6:00 p.m. This is a great opportunity to meet your child’s teachers and learn more about their school experience.
Safety is a top priority. It is our plan that, when possible, we will have our weapons detection system set up to scan those entering our building. Keep this in mind if you are visiting or if your student comes in when the system is set up.
Thank you for your continued support. Together, we can make this a successful year for every student.

We’ve had a great start to the school year at JMB! Just a few reminders: learning is required every day. Behaviors that distract from learning or safety—such as hanging out in bathrooms or hallways, vaping, dress code violations, misuse of cell phones, disruptions, or disrespect—will be addressed. Thank you for supporting a safe and focused learning environment for all Clippers!
