As we approach the end of the semester, it’s time to prepare for midterm exams. The exam schedule is as follows:

• December 17th: First Period, Third Period, and First Connections Exams

• December 18th: Second Period, Fourth Period, and Second Connections Exams

Please ensure that your child arrives at school on time each day, as this will allow them ample time to complete their exams without feeling rushed.

If your child is absent on the day of an exam, they will need to communicate directly with their teacher to arrange a makeup date after the break. Until the exam is completed, it will be marked as "missing" in the gradebook.

The holiday season is almost here, and we’re gearing up to bring some extra sparkle to our amazing teachers at West Jackson Middle School! ✨ To show our gratitude, we’re planning a festive holiday lunch and a special gift for each teacher to make them feel truly appreciated. 

We’d love for you to join us in creating a warm and joyful celebration! If you’re able, please consider a small contribution to help make this season extra merry for our dedicated faculty. Thank you to those who have already donated!!

Thank you for being such a wonderful part of our WJMS family! Let’s make this season bright and show our teachers how much they mean to us! 

As a reminder, students should not bring in any outside food from restaurants.  This will help with concerns about food safety, potential disruptions in the classroom, managing food allergies among students, and maintaining the cleanliness of the school environment. Thank you for your help!

Families, please remember that 1st period instruction begins promptly at 8:45 AM each day. To ensure students are in class and ready to learn on time, they need to be in the building no later than 8:40 AM. This allows them time to get to their classrooms and prepare for the day ahead.

Thank you for your help in supporting a smooth start to the school day!

 The student dress code policy at WJMS is based on the Jackson County School System Code of Conduct document issued to all students. Click here to revisit this document. We strive to make each day successful and encourage our students to be their best. 

Students, please remember, 

1. No hats, caps, head coverings (to include hoodies), bandanas, or stocking caps inside the building.

2. Clothing should not interfere with learning.

3. Clothing should not contain the following: gang symbols, racial or sexual connotations, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, double meanings, inappropriate slogans, profanity or obscene language.

4. Any clothing or accessories that have spikes or bullets.

5. No blankets worn around the body.
