A message from the principal

Hey There JMS Families,


I hope this message finds you well. I'm thrilled to share the incredible progress we've seen in your students at Jefferson Middle School. Their growth and development have been truly inspiring, and I want to express my gratitude for your continued support in this journey.


Our mission to "Maximize Student Learning" has seen your children rise to challenges and persevere through obstacles. Just like young trees that sway with the wind but stand tall, your students have shown resilience and determination.


This year's theme, "Perfectly Imperfect," encourages us all to embrace our imperfections and learn from them. Your children are discovering that setbacks are stepping stones to success, and your role in reinforcing this mindset is crucial.


As partners in their education, we need your help now more than ever. Encouraging your students to stay the course, persevere, and remain resilient is vital. Your words of encouragement and belief in their abilities make a significant difference.


Our core values of upstanding, dignity, integrity, aspirational, knowledge-seeking, and adaptability guide our actions. Together, we create an environment where your children can not only "Enter to Learn" but also "Leave to Achieve."


In these times of change, your role as mentors and supporters is invaluable. Let's nurture determination and tenacity in your children, ensuring they continue to grow and thrive.


Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education and growth. Your partnership is the cornerstone of our success, and I look forward to celebrating more achievements together.


With warm regards and unshakeable optimism,

Karen Cameron

Attendance Matters

Attendance isn't just about showing up; it's about tuning in to the heartbeat of our Jefferson Middle School community. It's like hitting "play" on a symphony of learning and belonging. Each day in school is a fresh brushstroke on the canvas of our mission to "Maximize Student Learning." Just as every note matters in a song, your presence matters here. Our core values—being Upstanding, Aspirational, and Knowledge Seeking—come alive when we're all together. This year, as we revel in being "Perfectly Imperfect," let's cherish each day as a golden opportunity to add to our life's masterpiece. So come, let's make beautiful music together—every single day.
