From the Guidance Office
Jennings County Middle School is so excited to greet our 2016-17 incoming 7th graders on Monday and Tuesday of this week. Each elementary school will visit to explore the middle school, hear about our different activities and clubs, find out how our schedule runs and have an opportunity to give it a try with a combination lock on a real locker. Our JYIT group and Student Council will serve as tour guides and we’re all looking forward to welcoming these students and helping them feel more at ease about the move from elementary school to middle school.
Parents of these incoming 7th graders will also be invited to a free spaghetti dinner and parent meeting on April 21. The dinner begins at 6 p.m. and parents will have the pleasure of being entertained by our Una Voce show choir. The parent meeting will begin at 6:30 with introductions and information.
This is an excellent time for our current students to show these new students how proud they are to be a Jennings County Middle School panther and demonstrate the behaviors and values they have learned and demonstrate everyday. Do Right! Act Right! Say Right! It’s the Panther Way!!
