Dear Parents,
The web link above will take you to our team’s calendar of events. This link is a permanent, public address that you may bookmark for easy access.
Upon accessing the calendar, you may choose a weekly or monthly view. Clicking on an entry will allow you to see a more detailed description of the event.
School-wide events, such as holidays, student pictures, and sports are included. Further, your child’s content teachers will also post important items such as test information and due dates for long-term projects.
Finally, if you have not yet set up an Infinite Campus Parent Portal account, please consider doing so right away! This account will allow you to access your child’s grades and attendance records from any Internet connection. Our team will also use Parent Portal to send you messages about your child’s progress in class, including behavior, effort, and homework. Should you need assistance setting up your account, please contact our school’s main office (706-367-2882).
Thank you so much for your continued support! |

Dear Parents and Guardians,
The 7th grade teams of teachers would like to express how excited we are to begin this school year! With your help and support, we can form a partnership that will result in a meaningful and successful year for your child. One of the most important aspects of life is personal responsibility, and one of our goals is to assist your child in becoming an independent young person. This is accomplished through communication, commitment, and caring on all our parts.
Agendas: Each child will be issued an agenda book the first week of school. This daily planner not only aids in organization, but also provides a way for us to communicate with you and for you to be informed of your child’s assignments. The following are important aspects of the agenda:
It contains the JMS handbook, school policies, academic resources and school calendar
Your child must have the agenda every day
If it is lost or stolen, a new one must be purchased ($5.00)
An agenda signed by a teacher or administrator is the ONLY hall pass for students
Please check the agenda daily for messages from teachers
Note that inside the agenda there is a pink form. This form is the site where teachers will sign permission for a hall pass to the bathroom or locker. Four hall passes per class per quarter are allowed. These may also be used as late passes, though once four passes are exceeded the student is considered tardy.
Throughout the week students should record assignments daily for each class.
The 7th grade teachers provide additional ways to keep you updated. A weekly email is sent to those parents who supply an email address on their child’s syllabus. For your convenience, this weekly update is also available on the JMS website.
We are committed to providing a positive, challenging, and stimulating learning environment for all students. The following are important guidelines for encouraging success for all students:
Student Work Policy:
Please see each class syllabus.
Homework is an extension of learning that helps your child to practice newly acquired skills and understandings. We expect students to be the sole owners of any individual assignments given outside of class. We respectfully request that parents act as facilitators, not partners, in completing the child’s homework.
Make-up Work:
Students who are absent will have 3 days to complete missed assignments for full credit. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain missed work (including notes) in each class. Please encourage your child to talk to the teacher about missed assignments.
Unexcused Tardy Policy: Once the allotted number of hall passes per class is used, a student entering class after the bell has rung is tardy. See class syllabi for details.
Behavior Consequences: The following consequences apply to students not following directions:
1st – Warning
2nd – In-class discipline (change of seat, contact home)
3rd – Silent Lunch / In-Class Suspension
4th – SAS
5th – Office Referral (“write-up”)
It is our goal to create a safe, productive learning environment for your child, and we appreciate your support of these policies. Depending on the infraction, consequences may not follow the above progression.
Please take a moment to sign your child’s syllabi, indicating that
1. You have read and agree to the policies set forth in the 7th grade team letter
2. You have read the policies outlined in the agenda (student handbook portion)
3. You have read and agree to the class syllabus
Please feel free to contact us via e-mail or contact the JMS office to schedule appointments.
Thank you for your time and support, and we eagerly await getting to know your child and helping him or her to excel in school and beyond.
Respectfully,
JMS 7th Grade Faculty
