JMMS is a 21st Century, 6th - 8th grade middle school where we communicate, collaborate, create, and think critically inside and outside of our classroom. We use this webpage  as an important tool in sharing our news, our work, and our accomplishments with the East Haven community and beyond.

JMMS MISSION STATEMENT

Joseph Melillo Middle School is a school family that cares about each other and learns together.  We are committed to provide our children with the confidence and skills to question and the drive to find the answers within themselves and the world. Our staff and students are lifelong learners who will use their knowledge and spirit to inspire  the world.

VISION

Joseph Melillo Middle School students, staff and community friends are committed: 

To provide a safe and nurturing environment

To integrate the rigorous core curriculum through project-based learning

To ensure that our civic-minded students exit the program as independent thinkers and learners.

iReady at JMMS

What is i-Ready?

The i-Ready Diagnostic is an adaptive assessment that adjusts its questions to suit your student’s needs. Each item a student sees is individualized based on their answer to the previous question. For example, a series of correct answers will result in slightly harder questions, while a series of incorrect answers will yield slightly easier questions. The purpose of this is not to give your student a score or grade, but instead to determine how best to support your student’s learning. 


i-Ready Personalized Instruction provides students with lessons based on their individual skill level and needs, so your student can learn at a pace that is just right for them. These lessons are fun and interactive to keep your student engaged as they learn. 


Each week, every student at JMMS is required to spend 45 minutes working on their iReady individual pathway for EACH subject area (math and reading).


For more information, and to learn how to view your child's progress, please watch this video.


Visit the iReady Family Center for more resources for supporting your student at home.
