A Message from Mr. Harris
East Jackson Middle School Community,
We have had a great start to the school year here at EJMS. The building has been alive and full of excitement, and I have had the opportunity to interact and get to know many of our new and returning students. As we have completed the whirlwind that is the first full week of school, I want to thank each of you for your continued support of the students and staff here at EJMS. Without your support, EJMS can not uphold our theme of “One East,” or achieve our vision of “Student success through leadership, character, and performance.”
EJMS has made a few changes regarding our morning procedures. Students who are car riders in the morning will be able to enter the building beginning at 7:30. Bus riders will enter the building upon arrival of their buses. Upon entering the building, students will report to the cafeteria if they are eating breakfast, or to the gym if they are not eating breakfast. Students will be dismissed from these locations to report to their homeroom.
Next week we will begin MAP Testing. This assessment is a valuable tool that helps us understand each student’s strengths and areas for growth. It will provide us with important information that can be utilized to tailor instructional support to support our individual students. Please encourage your student(s) to come to school each day and try their very best.
Thank you again for your support and dedication to making this the best year at EJMS.
Sincerely,
Johnathan Harris
