Upcoming Dates

In an effort to continuously grow and improve as a school system, the Jackson County School System is requesting your feedback through a survey which will be instrumental in helping us continue on our path of growth and improvement. We appreciate your partnership as we strive for academic and extracurricular excellence. Please Click Here to access the survey.

Rising 9th graders, save the date for a night at Empower to get a glimpse of what's to come! Plan for October 21st from 5PM-7PM to learn about pathways, view the center, and learn about dual enrollment.

We are looking for the future of creation with students that are skilled in 3D Modeling, Animation, Digital Game Design, Video Production, Graphic Design, and much more! We want you to take a change on your creation and enter it into the Technology Competition. Click here for details and submit your interest! Email Mr. Shoe with any questions at adam.shoe@jcss.us.

School Updates

Ice cream sales began last week! If you'd like to set a limit on your student's ability to purchase ice cream or other supplemental items, please visit your Linq Connect account. You can set a cap based on either the dollar amount or the number of items.

Please note, ice cream costs $1.00, and students will not be able to purchase ice cream or other extras if their lunch account has a negative balance. The balance must be paid in full for any additional purchases.

WJMS Families, don't forget that Fall Break is scheduled for October 10th-15th. Have fun and stay safe!
