Welcome Back!
Welcome back! My name is Brittany Barnes and I am the new Media Specialist at JCYMS! I’m so excited to be here! I just moved back to Atlanta from New York City and it feels great to be home! I have been a Media Specialist for five years and I was a classroom teacher for four years before that. I can't wait to begin fun Media Center programs like the Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl, Nightly Reading Competitions, AR, SEL Books of the Month, and more! Follow me on Twitter @JCYMediaCenter throughout the year to hear exciting news about these programs!

Technology at JCYMS
We are thrilled to be a part of the APS Digital Bridge program. This year, 7th and 8th graders received their laptops back from last year. Please be aware that some laptops are still out for repair. Whenever repaired devices are returned to the school, we will deliver those devices to the student. We are hoping that our 6th graders will receive their devices from APS later this Fall. Until then, our 6th grade teachers each have a Chromebook cart in their classrooms for students to use. JCYMS also has five iPad carts placed around the school for student use. Our main goal is to become a one-to-one school which means every student has a device. Thank you for your patience as we work on this goal!
If your 7th or 8th grade student needs to purchase a replacement piece for their device (ie: charging cord, pen, hot spot, etc.), there are directions on how to do that at jcymsmediacenter.weebly.com/programs, under Technology.
