Hello JCMS Family! I hope you all had and are having a great Thanksgiving break. I just wanted to extend a Belated Happy Thanksgiving from some of our disguised turkeys at JCMS. They made it without being eaten because of their creative disguises. Including our President Trump Turkey. Coyotes, the Turkeys are very thankful for your designs that kept them hanging away from danger.


We would like to recognize our very own ELA teacher, Miss Macias! Despite her young age, she has already accomplished so much. She has proven herself to be an exceptional educator, and today she earned her Masterβs in Educational Leadership. Great job, Miss Macias! ππ

The lockdown drill is now complete. Thank you for your cooperation.
We are currently performing a lockdown drill. There is no emergency at this time.
We have ample room and tables inside the cafeteria, but they would rather scrunch together, under the sun, on their favorite bench. π

A little late but great! We're super proud of our students for earning Honor Roll, Principal's List, and Perfect Attendance during the first quarter of the year. We have a great bunch of students π We can't wait to celebrate them again for their efforts in Quarter 2 which ends soon!



Congratulations to the JCMS Coyotes and their victory over Huber

We are currently experiencing issues with our NWEA testing platform, which means todayβs testing will be postponed. Our team is actively troubleshooting and we hope to have the problem resolved by the end of the day. A revised testing schedule will be sent out as soon as we have more information.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Let's finish strong and have fun doing it! Join the fun this holiday season! β€οΈπβ€οΈπβ€οΈπ

We would love your help! If youβve taken any photos throughout the year, please share them with us. We want to make this yearβs yearbook extra special by including candid, action, and impromptu shots of our students! Please use the link below:

Today we celebrated our veterans! πΊπΈ
The JCMS family came together to cook a delicious breakfast for our honored guests. The band serenaded them as they arrived, setting a warm and welcoming tone. Students wrote thoughtful thank-you cards, and several shared their Patriot Essays with pride. Dr. Clay closed our celebration with a powerful and heartfelt keynote speech that brought tears to many. We ended the morning breaking bread together in fellowship and gratitude. β€οΈπ€π
