Students in Mrs. Church's health class have been studying the triggers to their stress, how they feel when they are stressed and most importantly coping mechanisms. They created an informational zine to help advocate what they have learned.
Please join us this afternoon, September 14, for a tailgate before the middle school football game. Meet the JMS staff and grab some cider and donuts before the game starts. We'll be set up by the baseball field at 4:30. Game starts at 5:00. Go Comets!

Good Afternoon,
I don't know about you, but fall is my favorite time of the year; cooler weather, leaves are starting to change, I can relax by a campfire, and the wonderful sounds of football pads. My name is Brian Stroble, and I am the Jonesville Middle School Coach for the 2022-2023 season. I am excited to invite your child to sign up to join the football team. Below there is a link to a survey, so we can understand how many boys are interested in playing.
Last year, there were only a few of the boys that played which required the 7th and 8th grade team to join together and play. This year, we are hoping that we can have enough boys that sign up to have two teams, if not then we will combine teams once again.
Currently, our first practice is August 24th Practice times currently are unknown due to trying to find another coach. Our games are on Wednesday nights. The following is the current schedule but could change depending on if we have two teams or one. :
Wednesday, September 7th @ Homer (scrimmage)
Wednesday, September 14th Home against Union City
Wednesday, September 21st @ Bronson
Wednesday, September 28th Home against Springport
Wednesday, October 5th @ Reading
Wednesday, October 12th Home against Quincy
Our schedule is found at: https://jonesvillecomets.org/main/teamschedule/id/3761937/seasonid/4711411
Please fill out the survey if your child is interested: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd16aKv-R9dV8Ak8CTXxy8awhobAYJANfjlio0rgLGanpqSmQ/viewform
Thank you for your time,
Coach Brian Stroble

Jonesville Community,
In cooperation with the Jonesville City Council, Jonesville Community Schools will be swapping a portion of existing land between our maintenance garage and Sunset View Cemetery with land owned by the city south of the cemetery. The City of Jonesville approached Jonesville Community Schools about a need for cemetery expansion and wondered if we could partner with the city and community. This will allow the city and community to have a more suitable area for future expansion for the final resting place of our loved ones.
City Manager Jeff Gray and I would like to thank the Jonesville City Council and Jonesville School board for being so agreeable to this and making the process that much easier to the benefit of the entire community.
Sincerely,
Erik Weatherwax Jeff Gray
Superintendent, Jonesville Community Schools Jonesville City
Manager

We hope that this is something that you find helpful! We would like to thank the Jonesville Community food service department for making this possible. Go Comets!
JCS would like to thank Jonesville Lumber and Louie Morris for their donation to improve our crossing. I know the school and community appreciate it! I would also like to thank John Taipalus and his industrial arts students for building our new entry to our ballfields. It looks much better! Go Comets!
Jonesville Mission will be giving away food boxes tomorrow, Friday at the Carl Fast Park beginning at 4:00 pm. All community members welcome!
Comet families! We have great news for our elementary students for the 2022/23 school year! We will be picking up elementary students at select stops south of 12. We know for some families this was a barrier and hope this helps you out.
I know it's not even July, but we continue to enroll students for the upcoming school year. Get your slot as soon as possible! I Hope you are all enjoying your summer and go Comets!
Good morning Comet families, staff, students, and community members. Last night, the JCS school board voted unanimously to move our athletics to the Cascades Conference beginning the 2023/24 school year.
This was not an easy decision given the history that JCS has had with the Big 8 but it is the right one for our students. It provides them more athletic opportunities, including JV. This will be especially true for our lady Comets. It will allow our bowling team a shot at winning a league championship. It will provide our football team points to be eligible for the postseason. There are some challenges but they are not insurmountable. The average distance to a Big 8 school is 21.1 miles. The average distance to a Cascade Conference school is 29.6 miles. We think the benefits outweigh the distance.
We are excited to provide this new opportunity to our Comet athletes and we look forward to what the future will bring. Go Comets!
