Joan MacQueen Middle School
Principal Message
As we approach the end of the school year, I just wanted to say thank you to our Alpine Families for the great support we have received this school year. Joan MacQueen wouldn’t be the great place that it is without all of you! As your new principal, I have definitely learned a lot this year. I appreciate the feedback I have received and value your input. I have also come to deeply appreciate the great people that work at our school. With that being said, I would like to thank Kim Asfazadour for her hard work this year and almost 30 years of dedication to the students of Alpine. We wish her all the best in retirement. I would also want to take a minute to welcome Mrs. Traci Valade who'll be joining the Joan MacQueen family next year. Many of you likely know her from her time teaching at Alpine and Boulder Oaks Elementary. We are so happy to have her join our team.
As we approach the summer, please do all you can to encourage your children to read and practice the skills that they have learned this year. Students will have access to their CPM math curriculum, IXL, and other online resources so there exists an alternative to playing Fortnight and video games online all summer.
Lastly, we are asking any 8th-grade family who is not planning on attending our drive-through promotion to let us know so that we can have your child's promotion certificate and report card ready to mail home. Click Here if not attending Drive-Thru Promotion.

2020 JMMS Drive Through Promotion
Returning Items to the School and Picking up PE Gear
Students are in possession of Chromebooks, textbooks, books, and musical instruments that need to be turned back into school. Many students want to pick up a favorite pair of gym shoes from the locker room. Based on guidelines from the County Health and the SDCOE we have a plan to accomplish those tasks for all students in one trip. Please also keep in mind AUSD/JMMS will be moving to a one to one school with Chromebooks so only 8th-grade and non-returning students will need to return their school-issued technology.
