Keeping the Crew up to Date! Volume 2 Issue 15 - 12/4/22
Greetings Clipper Nation!
We are starting this week with a Winter Whiteout on Monday. We are encouraging students and staff to take part and wear white.
On Wednesday this week, we will collect donations for the JMB food pantry. Students are asked to drop off their donations in their first period class. Then on the 16th, we will have a food pantry distribution to help our community avoid hunger over the holidays.
Please encourage your student to stay the course these next ten days before break. Teachers have to submit progress report grades on the 12th, and then progress reports will come out on the 14th.
Please be sure to check out all the information in the newsletter.
I look forward to another great week at JMB, where we want students to learn and excel in the classroom and during extracurricular activities. If your student is not involved in something after school, encourage them to get connected and make positive lifelong memories.

PSAT/NMSQT scores - Update
PSAT/NMSQT scores for students who tested in October will be available December 5th. Students can easily access their scores online through their College Board account and unlock a robust set of personalized resources to help them understand their scores as well as connect to other College Board opportunities, such as, Official SAT® Practice on Khan Academy®, college readiness resources, and scholarships. Students who do not have a College Board account should create an account to view their scores at www.collegeboard.org. Students who don’t see their scores after they log in to their College Board account should contact Ms. Dunn at adunn@wcboe.org. Students will receive back their PSAT/NMSQT testing book in flex classes one day next week.

College Essay Support
We have good news for seniors who are working on their college essays! Through the Title IV grant, Ms. Cahall and Mrs. Taylor will be available to review your college essays and provide feedback starting on Monday, October 3rd – Saturday, December 31st.
Here’s how it works: You will need to email the teacher you would like to work with letting them know you would like for them to review your essay. They will then send you information so that you can upload your essay, the writing prompt or question that you are responding to along with any questions or comments about the essay you have sent them. The teacher will add you in an assignment on Google Classroom where all communication about your essay will occur.
Contact information for Participating Teachers:
Mrs. Chelsea Taylor: chtaylor@wcboe.org
Ms. Jennifer Cahall: jcahall@wcboe.org
Of course if there is another teacher you would like to have review your essays you are welcome to contact them, but Mrs. Taylor and Ms. Cahall are the teachers that are part of this project. They are looking forward to reading your essays and supporting you through this process!

How to Stay in the Know?
The best way to stay in the know is to make sure we have accurate information on file.

Make any corrections to the form in blue. If you need additional space for emergency contact use a separate sheet of paper. Sign the back of the form and return it to the school. If you prefer to fill out a new form you can find a copy on our website.
