Weekly Update For 08/29/22

Dear JMS Parents,

Here are the important dates and information for the week:

  • Thank you for a great first week of school.  Things seemed to go pretty well for the first week and the kids seemed to pick up on things pretty quickly.  If there are any remaining issues, please let the office know.

  • There will be no school this Friday, September 2nd, or Monday, September 5th due to the Labor Day Holiday.

  • We would like to distribute Chromebooks at the beginning of this week.  However, in order for this to happen, we need to increase the percentage of Chromebooks payments that have been turned in.  Currently, we have less than 50% of the fees that have been turned in.  If you want your student to take a Chromebook home, you will need to pay the $20 insurance premium in order for them to take them home.  If you do not want to pay the fee, we will house them at school, but they will not be allowed home.  Once the majority of premiums have been paid, we can distribute Chromebooks.  You can pay them electronically here: https://jonesvilleschools.revtrak.net/ 

  • Parents, please remember that due to safety concerns, no parents will be allowed in the building.  You will have to ring the bell on the front steps and show ID for entering the building.  This is a district wide policy.

  • Students can log into Skyward at any point in time to check their schedules, locker number, locker combination, grades, etc,

  • Sports practices have started and games will be starting after Labor Day.  There is still time to sign up for a sport if you have interest.  If you do not have a physical on file, you cannot participate in any practice until that is done.  All scheduled games for the year can be found at: https://jonesvillecomets.org/ 

  • After school tutoring and athletic study hall will once again be available this school year.  We will announce when it starts along with the days and times.  Athletes will know in advance if they must attend.  *Students cannot remain in the school past 4pm, and should have transportation available after tutoring.

  • 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 instructions.  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 made.

  • If your child is feeling ill, please keep them home.  Sick students will be sent home and required to be picked up.
