As our 8th-grade students enter their last year at Jemez Valley Middle School, we expect each student to continue demonstrating good behavior, attendance, and study habits. It is tempting for students in this final year to lose focus, but there can be consequences. Poor grades, attendance, behavior concerns, or a combination can lead to students missing out on some or all of the 8th-grade promotion activities. We want our students to finish strong and feel ready when they start high school the following year.
