Report cards will go live on the 14th. Now is an excellent time to make sure you have the Family Portal app on your phone. Directions on how to add it to an iPhone and Android are below in the newsletter. By using the portal, you can view grades, check attendance, and review student information for accuracy. This year, we will give students a paper copy of their grades, which we will hand out on the 15th. However, the app allows you to monitor grades throughout the term easily.

If you have a student who has earned a failing grade, please sign them up for Step-up, where they can work on getting passing grades in their class.

Parents and guardians of seniors, to stay current, check out the Senior section in the newsletter specifically for senior information.

Since we only have two days of school the following week, this parent message covers this week and next. Next Sunday, there will be no phone call or email, but you will get a text message to review the newsletter.

We have good news for seniors who are working on their college essays! Mrs. Taylor and Ms. Cahall are ready to review your college essays and provide feedback starting on Monday, October 2 – Sunday, December 31.

Here’s how it works:

You will need to email either Mrs. Taylor or Ms. Cahall (both are JMB English teachers) letting them know you would like them to review your essay. They will add you in on the assignment on Google Classroom where all communication about your essay will occur. At that point, you will upload your essay, the writing prompt or question that you are responding to along with any questions or comments about the essay you have sent.

Contact information for Participating JMB Teachers:

Mrs. Chelsea Taylor: chtaylor@wcboe.org

Ms. Jennifer Cahall: jcahall@wcboe.org

Of course, if there is another teacher you would like to review your essays you are welcome to contact them, but Mrs. Taylor and Ms. Cahall are the teachers that are part of this project. They are looking forward to reading your essays and supporting you through this process!

Cap & gown only orders may be placed with no deposit. For all other graduation orders, a $75 deposit is required and for class ring orders a $100 deposit is required.

• Information packets with complete ordering instructions may be picked up in the school office and the guidance office.
• Orders can also be placed online at Jostens.com

Formal Senior Pictures for the yearbook are due by October 31st. Please direct all questions to the yearbook advisor, Mrs. Sebach at dsebach@wcboe.org

• If you have your formal done through prestige they will submit the pictures directly to us. You will want to contact them to choose the one you want for the yearbook. It's not too late to make an appointment with them Prestige Portraits
• If you are using a private photographer please be sure to submit a digital copy to Mrs. Sebach by October 31st.
  

The best way to stay in the know is to make sure we have accurate information on file. Please look over all the information on the Student Personal Data and Enrollment Information Form as this is the information we currently have on file for you. Make any corrections to the form in blue. If you need additional space for emergency contact use a separate sheet of paper. Sign the back of the form and return it to the school.
