Jonesville Middle School is excited to announce our first semester honor roll students!
Comet community! I wanted to let you know that at our school board meeting on Monday, the JCS board unanimously elected Kayla Lewis as our new board President. In my time working with her, she has shown to be inquisitive, hard working, and an advocate for our district. We are fortunate to have her leading our board! Go Comets!!!
Jonesville Community Schools is now accepting applications for trustee of Jonesville Community Schools Board. If you are eligible to vote in the school district and are interested, please send your letter of interest along with any qualifications or reasons for interest to the Superintendent. The JCS board will review the applications at our February 12th study session then vote to elect at the February 26th board meeting. Go Comets!
January is School Board recognition month. JCS would like to thank our board members for all the work they do not just on meeting nights, but also behind the scenes. There is a lot to the position that requires hours of work outside of meetings. Their task is not an easy one as they navigate the positions of so many stakeholders, but they always have the kids and staff at heart.
It should also be mentioned that last night was Travis Berlin's last night serving on the board. His life has taken him in another direction and we all wish him the best. I will miss his guidance and the patience he showed as a new person to the job. He helped me tremendously. We will be sending out information on filling that vacancy soon.
So if you see a board member out there, take a second and thank them for their service!
Comet families! We have more exciting news for our schools! At the school board meeting last night, we were grateful and humbled to officially acknowledge the generous donation by Judy and Rich Hale to JCS. As you know, Judy Hale was a long time teacher of JCS educating many in the community. Additionally, she has been a supporter of the schools with her time volunteering and other donations prior to this one.
She states that her family comes first, but Jonesville Schools are her second love. We are grateful for their gift that will impact many different areas of our schools, including a Dustin Hale Fund to be used for plaques, trophies, certificates, etc. for the Dustin Hale Memorial Scholarship, the Dustin Hale Free Throw awards, and the Hale/Dunn Free Throw awards.
Thank you Judy and Rich Hale for all you do for our kids and community! Go Comets!!!
Good morning Comet families! Due to the icy road conditions, JCS will be closed today Tuesday, January 23rd. Have a great day and stay safe!
Jonesville High School students disassembling carburetors learning about the parts and what they do. Great lesson Mr. Snyder!
Using our WIN (homeroom) time to work together as a team. The goal was to work together to pull the cards and get the cups to fall into the perfect stack. (It’s tougher than you think 😅) These soft skills we practice will help us as we continue through life: perseverance, trial and error, losing and winning with grace, communication skills, celebrating success and learning from failure, and of course, working together toward a common goal. These are the core of building good citizens. Here in Jonesville, we empower students for a successful tomorrow.
January update with JABA cash raffle information!

Today is Athletic Director Kathy Bondsteel's retirement from JCS. She has worn many hats over her career from working at Hillsdale College and Hillsdale Academy as an administrative assistant to Hillsdale Community Schools where she was the administrative assistant to the AD. She was also a spot welder, production control clerk, worked at a family owned convenience store, and a secretary at the USDA.
However, she is best known for 17.5 years as Athletic Director of JCS. She was a pioneer in that she was the first woman to be the AD in the Big 8. She was elected region AD of the year two times and worked on many MHSAA committees. She is well respected amongst her peers. She always made the officials feel welcome.
Her position is not an easy one. There are a lot of moving parts to the position and you, at times, are working with staff and athletes at their lowest in times of defeat. She always remained positive and, most importantly, cared about kids. We hope that her retirement brings her all the love (grandkids) and TIME she has earned. Thank you for everything you have done for JCS! Best of luck and go Comets!
Good evening Comet families! In light of the upcoming winter storm, JCS will be closed tomorrow. Getting to school would not be an issue but getting home will. I know half days can be challenging for some families as well. Have a nice and safe weekend. Go Comets!
