PBIS Christmas ornament decorating and the 6th grade dodge ball tournament!
Jonesville Community Schools sends its condolences to Oxford Schools for the tragedy they suffered. There are no words that can take away the pain and hurt to those who lost loved ones and the injured.
After tragedies such as this, it’s normal to try to find out the “why” . Unfortunately, there isn’t always one clear answer. What I do know is, we can all check in on our family and friends. If someone is hurting please let someone know. Tell a teacher, principal, family member etc know because it truly does take a community.
The Comet community extends its thoughts and prayers to Oxford Schools.
In Sympathy,
Erik Weatherwax
Superintendent, Jonesville Community Schools
CONGRATULATIONS to Mrs. Mandrelle and her 6th Graders!!! We are very proud of you all.
One of the people from the original Shark Tank food truck proposal, Cousins Maine Lobster, heard about our project from the last trimester.
They loved our project so much that one of the “cousins” made us a video to encourage us to continue to do our best. I showed it in class today and the kids loved it so much. I wanted to share it with you as well. We were happy they took the time to share with us!
Here is a link to the video

Here is the 8th grade Quiz Bowl team who took 1st place!
On Saturday, our 7th and 8th grade quiz bowl teams travelled to Springport to compete in the Big 8 competition. We had two teams from each grade, and Jonesville was able to snag a first place trophy in BOTH competitions!
The 7th grade team of Brant, Julia, Harper, and Colton came in first place. The 8th grade team of Brookie, Molly, Grant, and Marshall also squeaked out a first place win in a tiebreaker round where they scored one more point than Springport’s 8th grade team. Congratulations!
Here are pictures of our other two teams. The 7th grade team consists of Silvia, Kota, Grace, and Quentin.
The 8th grade team is Kami, Mason, Joey, and Lucas.
At the Big 8 Quizbowl our JV (Freshman/Sophomore) took 1st place and our Varsity (Junior/Senior) took 2nd place. The 7th grade team took 1st place and so did the 8th grade team! Great job to our Comet competitors! Go Comets!!!!
We have been working on a basic small business plan based off of the show “Shark Tank.” The students set up for food truck by researching various costs such as ingredients, equipment, trucks, etc They also had to determine cost, customer price, profit for their meals. They all made wonderful presentations to our “sharks” of Jonesville. It was great seeing how the kids responded under pressure.
Thank you to our “sharks,” Mrs Packer (our instructional assistant), Mr. Kennard (our principal), Mr. Weatherwax (our superintendent), Mr. Babcock (our local businessman), and Ms. Nunez (our school counselor). They were a great audience who asked great questions that challenged our students to think deeper!
The final winning group was “Bussin Burger” created by Landon, Bryce, and Sam. They had the most sound business plan.
Jonesville Community Schools would like to thank all of our veterans for their service to our country and community. If you see a veteran today, be sure to thank them for their service.
We will be taking down the bond survey tomorrow. If you have not taken it please take a minute to do so because this information is useful to the district moving forward. Here is the link:

District volleyball -Jonesville Comets will play the Hanover Horton Comets at 6:00 in Springport for the district final!! Come cheer on our Comets!
As you know, we ran an athletic facility bond over the summer and it was defeated. The vote was very close but it’s important to understand why people voted the way they did whether it was yes or no. The survey is on our main page at Jonesvilleschools.org.
The survey is anonymous. We are just looking for insight from our community. If you’ve already taken the survey there is no need to take it again. We appreciate your help with this! Go Comets!
Friendly reminder to take our survey on the athletic bond. The link is in the email sent from Sunday night. It’s very quick and provides us with useful information as we decide how to proceed. Thank you to all of our Comet families who have already completed the survey!
Happy Halloween from JMS!
Comet families! As you know, students are required to wear masks on school buses as they are deemed public transportation. We have been providing masks for our students who have forgotten their’s but it really should be in case of an emergency. In the last two weeks, we have gone through over a thousand masks which is more than we did since the beginning of the school year. Please make sure your student has a mask so we are only handing them out in case of emergencies. Thank you
Jonesville is now paying substitute teachers $100 a day! We are in need of guest teachers at all grade levels. Come be a part of Comet pride!
Congratulations to:
CARLIE, MAVERICK, DANICA, BRYNLEIGH, KALLIE, RYLIE, OLIVIA, AUSTIN, MEGAN, ISABELLA, WESTON, NAVAEH, TARYNN, MILEY, GABRIELLA, ABIGAIL, AND BRAYDEN.
Our outstanding students of the month for September!!
