    Progress reports went live on the 10th. Be sure to review how your student is doing on the family portal. Let's continue to help our students finish the year strong. State law requires all high school students to participate in MCAP assessments to gain insight into how students are mastering the content and to determine whether a student is College and Career Ready. JMB will be administering these assessments to students who are in Algebra 1, English 10, Biology, or Government during the week of May 15-19. Most of this testing will occur for students during their respective classes, students will receive a testing ticket with information. For more information

    Hello, 4th term. Since this is the last and final term, please review student grades regularly to help ensure they finish the year with success (especially our seniors). As the weather gets warmer, please remind your student that shirts should cover bellies and shorts should not be too short. This week will be busy at school as prom tickets go on sale for our seniors, students interested in running for an SGA office must make that official as of Monday, and we have our National Honor Society and National Science Honor Society inductions. We have a large group of students being inducted. I am excited about this event as students are recognized for their hard work.

    When we return to school on Tuesday, we start the 4th and final term of the school year. Report Cards for 3rd term will go live on the 13th. During this last term, please continue encouraging your students to actively participate in their learning. We saw a drop in grades during 3rd term, which has me concerned for some of our seniors as well as our underclassmen. It is essential to pass this final term to move on to the next grade and/or graduate.

    We have a short week this week, but it is important as we mark the end of the 3rd term on the 5th. On April 4th, during Flex, the entire school will practice a "Safe in Place" status and a "Lockdown" status. Again, this will be a practice. Attached to the message are the terms we use as it relates to school safety (Avoid, Deny, Defend) and what should take place during the "Safe in Place" and "Lockdown" status. We will have a sign on the front door reminding guests that you will not be admitted into the building during the drill, and we will not be able to release your student. The drills will occur between 10:40 and 11:20. Once the drills are completed, we will return to regular status. If your student has missed more than five unexcused days this term, please have

    As we approach the end of the third term (April 5th), we are noticing more latenesses to school and absences.

    I wanted to take time to inform the entire JMB School community of an ongoing situation that may impact some of our sports teams this spring.

As a district, WCPS has communicated these concerns with the Kent Island High School administration and district-level staff, hoping that these behaviors and incidents of poor sportsmanship would

    There has been so much happening this month that I was worried March might feel boring. However, as I look at the calendar, March is definitely going to start busy. On Wednesday, March 1st, all 11th-Grade students will take the SAT in school as part of assessing readiness for college and career. There is no cost to the student for taking this test. All 11th-Grade students should plan to arrive at school no later than 7:35 a.m.
