Congratulations to our 2026 Lady Indians volleyball team! We will have a mandatory parent meeting on Monday at 5:00pm in the gym.
Students and families,
Here is a great opportunity to support the Silver Bluff Athletics program by volunteering your time to help clean up the football stadium.
This is also an excellent chance for students to earn community service hours for AVID or any other class, club, or organization that requires volunteer service hours.
If you're looking to give back to our school while earning service hours, we encourage you to participate. Your help will make a big difference, and every volunteer is appreciated!
We hope to see you there!

It's that time of year again to join an amazing support system for our school. Please consider joining the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) for just $5.00. That' s less than a cup of some coffees, but will greatly benefit our scholars. Each person that joins will have their name entered in a raffle for a bag full of goodies, including a JSMMS t-shirt!

Scholars completed their first day of the 2026-27 school year. Scholars got to know their teachers and classmates, attend a JMS Town Hall Meeting, were visited by a few District administrators including Dr. Murphy, and chatted with their friends during lunch.
Scholars were also introduced to our the new Scholar Pledge and the School Commitment.
The final weekend of summer break! Time to gear up for the first day of school. Reminder to our scholar and families, doors open at 7:30am. All scholars are to report to the cafeteria. Classes begin at 8:00am with your Advisory period.

Our wonderful PTO members helped teachers and administrators kick off the 2026-27 school year with a delicious breakfast from Cracker Barrel. Teachers new to JSMMS had an early start by attending orientation and training last week.
