Boys basketball tryouts will be held on December 16 and 18. 7^th grade will tryout at 6:00AM @ JMS. 8^th grade will tryout after school @ JMS. Please make sure you have turned in all of your paperwork and picked up a new eligibility card.

8^th grade basketball teams, turn in your uniforms to the office or your coach.

We are out of CLIFF Bars in the counseling office, please do not come down asking for them.

Students please remember, at lunch you must take a minimum of 3 items, one of which has to be a fruit or vegetable.

**Students: before school in the morning, 6^th graders need to only enter the building through the 6^th grade doors, 8^th graders through the 8^th grade doors and 7^th grade through the Art Room doors.

**During lunch, each table will now clean their own table before the table is dismissed outside. Remember, all students need to go outside at the end of lunch to re-enter the building.

**During lunch, when the first group is ready to go outside, they will start going once their table is cleaned off and it’s close to switching time. No more lining up and waiting for the outside to be ready.

We are excited to let you know that JMS has purchased a new skateboard and scooter rack for students. ALL skateboards and scooters will need to be stored there during the school day. Here is what students need to know:

         ** Students will need to bring their own lock to keep their scooter or skateboard safe.

         **Scooter and skateboards will NO LONGER be kept inside the school building

Students: when you use the microwave in the lunch room, if you do not clean up the inside of the microwave after you use it, it will be removed and no microwave will be available!

Tigers, JMS has an attendance committee and they are dedicated to making sure that we see as many Jerome Tigers each week as possible. We love to see you here! Every Monday, there will be a raffle drawing. If you have perfect attendance for the previous week, you will be entered to win a prize on the following Monday. There will be a winner for 6^th, 7^th and 8^th grade. The more you attend, the more prizes you can win! See you around the hallways! Be present!
