Jag Wire

Come visit JMS before the first day! Families can meet teachers, find classrooms, and get ready to start the year with Jaguar Pride! 💜

Parents, families, and caregivers are invited to Jefferson Middle School’s Open House! Walk the halls with your 6th, 7th, or 8th grader, visit classrooms, and meet your student’s teachers before the first day of school.

Schedule

JSSO will be available to share volunteer opportunities, upcoming events, and hear from our families. Come say hi and take home a cute meeting reminder calendar for your bulletin board! 💜

Welcome back, Jaguars! Let’s kick off the year with kindness, responsibility, positive attitudes, and Jaguar Pride! 🐾

Students must have phones and personal electronics OFF and AWAY when they enter the building and throughout the school day.

📞 Need to reach your student? Please call the JMS office and we will make sure your student receives your message.

Students who need to contact a parent or guardian may use the office phone.

Thank you for helping us keep our focus on learning, connection, and being our best Jaguar selves!

Have questions about bus routes, stops, or pick-up/drop-off times? Please connect directly with the OSD Transportation Department for the most current information.

We encourage families to check routes ahead of time and allow a little extra time during the first days of school as everyone settles into the new routine.
