Everybody dance now! Well, some danced, while others enjoyed catching up with friends and grabbing a bite to eat. During the activity period, scholars attended the annual Back-to-School Dance and had a great time celebrating the start of a new school year. A few teacher chaperones even joined in the fun, making the event even more memorable.
Mark your calendars!
Wednesday, August 19th will be the first early dismissal day of the 2026–27 school year!
Students will be dismissed early while our teachers and staff use the afternoon for professional development, collaboration, and additional training to support student success.

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!

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.
