GJCS will be hosting a Community Learning Event on March 29th from 6-7:30 PM in the JHS Community Room. This will be a learning opportunity for the Greater Jasper Community as a follow-up to our recent "Screenagers" event. Detective Greg Brescher and Assistant Chief Chad McClellan will present on the topic of social media and internet safety. Guidelines and strategies will be shared to help adults regulate and monitor various devices. A Q&A will follow after the presentations. Due to the nature of the content being presented, this event is for ADULTS ONLY.

Dear Parent/Guardian of students in 6th, 7th, 8th grade,

In response to the Indiana Department of Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations, The Dubois County Health Department (DCHD) will be holding a vaccination clinic for HPV at Jasper Middle School during school hours. This is a great opportunity for busy parents, and for students to get up to date on their vaccines. Please see the attached information letters and registration forms in English and Spanish.

7th and 8th grade parents: Your children may be eligible for a college scholarship! Indiana's 21st Century Scholars program offers income-eligible students up to four years of paid tuition at an eligible Indiana college or university after they graduate from high school, depending upon financial need. Don't let this awesome opportunity pass by without applying for the program. The deadline to apply is June 30 of the student's 8th grade year. Go online to apply at Scholars.IN.gov or fill out the attached paper application and return to Mrs. Maxey.

A new group has been started at JMS to help with two specific missions: 1) to provide students who are new to our school with a welcome gift that includes a few Jasper spirit pieces and 2) to help students throughout the year who need clothing items provided for them. Our first initiative is to help get more spirit wear out to people . . . parents, siblings, grandparents, students . . . so that everyone has a chance to show their Jasper pride. We have set up an online store for people to purchase from. A portion of all sales will go into the Welcoming Wildcats fund. Additionally, on the store is a DONATE button where people can simply donate to our mission if they don’t want to purchase anything or in addition to their purchase. Please check out the online store at THIS LINK. Or, see the attached flyer. There are items at various price points, quality, and name brands.

Each week of the school year, we will be recognizing two Students of the Week for each grade level. Students are nominated for this recognition by staff members for a variety of reasons. It could be based on Academics, Behavior, Character, or Improvement. All of the nominees are then voted upon by the staff to identify the six winners for that week. This week's winners include:

6th Graders: Jazlynn Blocker and Bryan Velazquez

7th Graders: Audrey Hoffman and Augie Simmers

8th Graders: Anna Schwenk and Angel Diaz
