Virtual School Information
Welcome to JMMES Virtual School. Following you will find information to help familiarize you and your student(s) with Virtual Learning at JMMES. Starting off, students will log into their first Virtual Course through Canvas at 9:10 am daily on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Each virtual course is approximately 35 minutes long with a sixteen-minute break at the end of each course. Students will attend seven online courses a day on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday according to their printed school schedule. The day end will officially end with the last course of the day at approximately 4:00 pm.
Students will not attend courses on Wednesdays. Wednesdays have been designed for Teacher Office Hours where you or your student(s) can make appointments with their teachers to check-in and/or seek assistance from their teachers. Wednesdays will also be used to provide student interventions and personal tutoring for students who may need additional support.
Below, please see an example of a student schedule so that you can review this with your student.
Staff:
Please do not park in the back of the school, on the bus lane. We have district teams working on repairs to the building and we may have to use the bus lanes for student device deployment. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

OKCPS recognizes the stressors our families and students face. In response, we have created a community call center which will be available during the 2020-21 school year. It will be staffed by our counselors and social workers to provide emotional support and crisis intervention to OKCPS students and families.
