Welcome Back!!!
One of the great things about working in schools is having that two week winter break. It is very valuable for teachers and staff to have that time to refresh and recharge. This new year brings us to a new semester, with many activities: Basketball is in full swing, Soccer is starting, and Softball, Baseball, and Track & Field will start up soon; UIL One Act is already rehearsing for their middle school and high school competitions; UIL Academics are practicing on all four campuses; Choir and Band are gearing up for Concert & Sightreading;
Before I move on, I wanted to give a plug to our Girls and Boys Varsity Basketball Teams. Both are state ranked and undefeated in district play. Please make plans to come out and support these outstanding teams during their regular season in the JHS Gym. They play on Tuesdays and Fridays and check our district web page or our facebook page for game times and locations. we are proud of both of them and wish them well as they complete district and move on into the playoffs.
The spring semester will also bring other important activities, some of which we need your assistance with. We will be posting our annual District Calendar Survey soon. We want as much feedback as possible from our parents and community as we formulate our academic calendar for the 2016-2017 school year. This will be followed by a District Calendar Team comprised of staff and parents who will finalize the calendar before it is presented to the board. Another activity where we can use assistance is our campus and district parent surveys. We hope to get these surveys out around the Spring Break time, so be looking for those as we value your feedback and input. Students will begin scheduling for courses at JMS and JHS during this spring. Please be on the lookout for informational meetings and deadlines to assist your students in this important activity.
There will be other opportunities for volunteering, input, and assistance throughout this second semester. Please be watching (JISD facebook page is a great source) for these as they arise. We truly look forward to having people from our JISD community take part in our schools. It is important and necessary!
Here is to a great 2016!
Go Coogs!
