Dear JMS Families,
March is all about kindness at Jefferson Middle School! We are setting the tone for student success by encouraging responsibility, respect, and treating each other—and our belongings—with care
.
Jags Love Reading at JMS!
We’ve had some fantastic literacy events this month, and there’s more to come!
Read Across America Field Trip
Last week, our students took a walking field trip to Garfield Elementary for Read Across America. JMS students read to their younger peers, answered questions about middle school, and even joined them for recess.
Upcoming Buddy Reading Field Trip
Our next Buddy Reading Field Trip is to LP Brown on Wednesday, March 19th. We’re excited to continue building connections through reading!
Join us for Read Across Olympia at JMS!
Wednesday, March 26 | 5:30–7 PM | JMS Library
Enjoy a light dinner, free books, and community resources—including Timberland Regional Library's homework help and book access. The South Sound Reading Foundation will also be there. From 6–6:30 PM, we’ll have student performances in the library. This is our first literacy night at JMS, and we can’t wait to celebrate reading with you!

Reminders About Technology & School Expectations
Tech Use – Phones should be off and away during the school day. Chromebooks are for school use only, at the teacher's discretion.
Be On Time – Learning starts when the bell rings.
Hallways are for passing, not pausing – Keep it moving!
We’ve seen some improvement in tardies this month! However, students who had three or more tardies last week will have lunch detention on Tuesday and Wednesday. Please continue encouraging students to arrive on time and be prepared—building good habits now leads to success later!
Thank you for your ongoing support—we appreciate our JMS community!
