Did You Know...
If your student has 10 or more days absent (regardless if they are excused or unexcused) they are considered chronically absent. Please make sure you are keeping students home only when they are sick or there is a family emergency.
Attendance to school is very important. We know that sometimes students are sick or need to miss a day please make sure you are calling the Attendance Line to inform us of students absences.
ATTENDANCE LINE 224-303-2659
Please be advised that if your student has any of the symptoms below, he or she should NOT attend school:
- Fever
- Rash
- Persistent cough
- Sore throat
- Nausea or vomiting
- Diarrhea
Students should be symptom free for 24 hours before returning to school.
Jaguar Adjustment Time
Being late to class means your student is missing valuable class time. Many times the beginning of class sets the tone for the entire period, as well as informs the student on how to be successful on the learning objective for the day. If the student continues to have multiple tardies in a five day period the student will be assigned Jaguar Adjustment Time.
Jaguar Adjustment will be for 90 minutes after school and is required. It will be structured and time will be used reflect, set goals, and build the student's skill in getting to class on time.
We are asking families to please support JLMS and help make arrangements for transportation when Jaguar Adjustment time is assigned.

Students must eat and drink in the student cafeteria, with the following exceptions:
- School issued breakfast, to be eaten during advisory in classrooms.
- School issued fruit/veggies, to be eaten during period 3 in classrooms.
- Water, provided it is not disruptive.

- Delivery (ie, Door Dash) ordered by students.

Does Your JAGUAR Want To Go To Panama?
On our tour to Panama this summer, we will explore one of the most diverse countries in the world, have lunch with indigenous people, snorkel along the country’s Caribbean coast, and explore bustling Panama City. Students will also discover how, long before the canal was built, Panama’s central location attracted pirates like Sir Francis Drake and Henry Morgan. Stay tuned for information about our upcoming parent meeting where we will give you all the trip details. We are still in the planning stages so watch for future communication regarding the trip!
Stop by the Panama Trip table at Open House for more information!
