Jacksonville Middle School

JMS would like to thank our community partners that are supporting our new chapter of National Junior Honor Society.

Please join us for our JMS Winter Band Concert this Thursday, December 11 at 6PM. We hope to see you there!

Semester tests are coming next week December 15 through 19! Please see the schedule provided here to know which test will be on what day. JMS is having semester tests in all core classes to expose scholars to semester testing before entering high school. Good testing is a skill in which we want all our JNPSD scholars to excel.

JMS Winter Piano Lab Recital Tuesday, December 16 at 6PM. We hope to see you there!

Here at JMS we are teaching the skill of making it places on time! We had a "No Tardy Party" yesterday afternoon to celebrate with our schools that have not been tardy at all for the entire school year!

Thanksgiving Break: November 24-28. All JNPSD schools and offices will be closed.

Tomorrow, Thursday, November 19 is the last day of the Scholastic Book Fair at JMS. Please make your purchases before the end of the day tomorrow! You can still setup an eWallet for your scholar if you prefer that over sending money . Find how to create one here at https://www.scholastic.com/bf/jacksonvillemiddleschool1 and do online shopping. Anything bought helps our school get new books for our media center for all our scholars to enjoy. Thank you to everyone who has already purchased.

Don’t forget! Create a Book Fair eWallet for your child NOW so they can shop cash-free, worry-free, and independently! It’s easy to set up and easy for others to contribute funds!
