Knightly News
Dear JCMS Parents and Students,
With a concerted effort to ensure safety in our schools, we will be practicing some of our drills this week. Because it is Severe Weather Awareness week, we will review our Tornado Drill procedures on Wednesday. We will also practice our school lock-down procedures on Friday, March 11, at 9am, in conjunction with law enforcement and district representatives. Access to the school will be temporarily denied during this brief drill. Thank you for your flexibility!
This week our 8th graders will be visited by representatives from Northside High School. We have planned other upcoming events to ease the transition from middle school to high school for our students. Please ask your 8th grader about what he/she learned on Friday afternoon!
Please find below a list of upcoming scheduled events. As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Dr. Pylant, Principal
March is "Music in our Schools" Month
"Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent" -Victor Hugo
Middle school students love music and we look forward to celebrating that this month! Our Chorus Concert is at 6pm on Monday night at NSHS. Come out and support Ms. Sonja Williams and our vocalists!
Who are the future "STARS"?
