Electives

JMS Students Enjoy a Good Book

Sixth graders have a choice of music (Band, Choir, and Orchestra) and other electives like REACH and PE. In the seventh and eighth grades, students can choose to continue their studies of the music choice from sixth grade or explore other elective options like Woodshop, Visual Communications (KJAG-TV), Robotics, and REACH.  The REACH class has a different theme every year, so students taking the class in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade will have different content each year.
