A Message from Mr. Harris
East Jackson Middle School Community,
We had a busy week at the middle school as students participated in MAP testing and had numerous sporting events in full swing. With the conclusion of MAP testing and the collection of data from the assessment, we will begin to build Extended Learning Time (ELT) groups. ELT is valuable to our school as it provides students with the opportunity to go more in depth with material, reinforce skills, and explore new concepts through more individualized remediation and enrichment opportunities for our students.
This week in athletics was highlighted by victories from our volleyball, cross country, and football teams. Their accomplishments continue to spotlight their commitment to hard work, unity, and striving for excellence in all they do. I want to thank the band and cheerleaders for their support of our football team this past week as well. We are extremely proud of our student athletes and these accomplishments.
None of these accomplishments would be possible without your continued support. Your dedication to our school and students helps drive our success both inside and out of the classroom. Together as “One East” we will continue to shape well-rounded individuals who excel academically, athletically, and emotionally.
Sincerely,
Johnathan Harris
