Hello Jefferson Families!
We are heading closer to the finish line of the school year, and there are so many exciting things happening at Jefferson Middle School!

🧠 Testing Schedule Update
We have had to make a change to our SBA and MAP testing schedule. Please see the updated testing dates below:
  • Math MAP: May 18th
  • ELA SBA: May 20 & 21
  • Math SBA: May 27
These assessments are an important opportunity for students to show their learning. Attendance, rest, and a healthy breakfast make a big difference in student success, and we appreciate your support during testing season!

📚 Yearbook Sales
Yearbook sales will be available starting May 15th through the OSD Payment Portal or in the office with Ms. Nolan. Yearbook cost will be $20.00. Be sure to purchase a yearbook so your student can remember all the great memories from this school year!

🐾 Rising 6th Grade Night
Jefferson Middle School is excited to invite all incoming 6th graders and their families to our Rising 6th Grade Night on Wednesday, May 13th from 6:00–7:30 PM.
Families will meet in the Jefferson Main Gym to begin the evening. During the event, families will have the opportunity to:
  • Meet some of our JMS staff members
  • Connect with our Jag Crew student leaders
  • Take guided school tours
  • Learn about classes, activities, and athletics
  • Ask questions about middle school life at Jefferson
This is a great opportunity for students and families to become familiar with the building and start getting excited about joining the Jaguar family!
We look forward to welcoming our future Jaguars!

🏃 6th Grade Track Registration is Open!
Registration for 6th grade track students is now open! Families can register online through Final Forms.
