Weekly Update For 04/25/22

Dear JMS Parents,

Here are the important dates and information for the week:

Next week, on May 4th, we will do our annual bike to school day. Students wanting to participate will need to be dropped off with their bike at Wicker Works parking lot at 6:45am. Students will get more information about that this week.

Testing for 6th and 7th grade MSTEP ELA testing will be this Thursday, April 28th. Parents, it is crucial that:

Your child has a good breakfast the morning of the test.
Your child gets a good night's sleep before the test.
You talk with your child about the importance of doing their best on this test.
Your child gets to school on time, as this is a timed test and will have to make up the test at a different day/time if they are late or absent on this day.

We are trying to keep the softball and baseball fields free from any damage during construction. Please talk with your child and remind them to stay off of the fields after school hours. There is an area behind the bleachers, or the park at Wright St. where the students can play.
After school tutoring and athletic study hall will be available every Tuesday and Thursday from 2:50-3:50. Any student wishing to attend may show up as long as they bring work. Athletes will know in advance if they must attend. *Students cannot remain in the school past 4pm, and should have transportation available after tutoring.

Hillsdale College also offers free, virtual tutoring, if you cannot make our after school tutoring. Parents, you can sign up for that here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1gt_3M-0U5QgJSIkgLmmWZ6X0RIjH4Jj7j1AVCFKZF0E/viewform?edit_requested=true

If your child is absent from school due to an illness or appointment, please call the office in the morning and let us know 517-849-3210.

Students who are quarantined are required to complete all classwork while they are away from school. Your teacher should have Google Classroom or Schoology set up to deliver all assignments and instruction. Failure to complete assignments on time will result in a lowered grade. If you are sick, please let your teacher know so an exception can be.

A list of all other published materials (school supplies, handbook, times, letters, maps) can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yaAJA7wBSfPpTcte5Yqlj55puTx0S6i9/view?usp=sharing
If your child is feeling ill, please keep them home. Sick students will be sent home and required to be picked up.
If you have any questions, please email
