Happy New Year JMS Family & Friends,

January is School Board Recognition Month! We are so grateful to have a school board that supports the needs of our staff, students, and the Jarrell ISD community. Over the past few years, our schools have faced unprecedented challenges. Amidst the challenges, our School Board members are "Rising Above", becoming change agents, innovative thinkers, and problem solvers. This month we recognize you for your servant leadership to Jarrell ISD!

This week, individual student data reports will be mailed home documenting Math and Reading progress. Included are two different reports:

1) Star Family Report - Predicts overall performance level

• Math - Indicates % mastery in Algebraic concepts, Data, and Number and Operations

We know that your child's education is important. Therefore, we are scheduling meetings with parents of each student that failed a class 1st semester.

You should have received an email that includes a link to select a 30-minute window for a Semester meeting. Participants will also include Mr. Childs (Assistant Principal), Mrs. Hardt (Counselor), the student and parent. We will come up with a plan to help your student achieve academic success at Jarrell Middle School.
