Mission Statement of JBM Intermediate School
JBM’s family first learning environment will challenge students to be critical and analytical thinkers and leaders. Inclusive classrooms will be well-structured, student-centered, and present opportunities for collaboration.
JBM Motto
Family First: Protect the Flock
We wish you and your families a wonderful Holiday season!
Wednesday folders are sent home weekly with updates and information about JBM. These folders are also a great tool to use to communicate with your child's teacher.
Our goal as instructional leaders and leaders in the building is to spend as much time as possible in classrooms, coaching teachers and supporting and engaging with students. Therefore, if you would like to meet with a member of the SEL team or an administrator, please contact the main office to schedule an appointment. Walk-in meeting requests will likely not be accommodated, especially prior to 9:00 am or after 2:00 pm.
If you need assistance with Home Access Center, please contact our JBM Office at 302-659-6297.
Review the calendar of events below and mark your calendars for the upcoming dates. Be sure to join our JBM PTO Facebook page to stay up to date - JBM PTO Facebook Group - (search: John Bassett Moore Intermediate PTO).
