Health Screenings Begin October 01

State Law requires all public schools to hold annual screenings. Starting October 1st, Jobe will begin screenings for Hearing, Vision, and Acanthosis Nigricans (a visual marker that may indicate possible signs of type 2 diabetes) on all 7th graders and all new to district students. Please ensure your child brings/wears their glasses and contacts daily.

Additionally, females in grade 7 and males in grade 8, will be screened for Scoliosis (a curvature of the spine). Male and Female students are screened separately.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Nurse Blackledge at 682-314-4421 or kristenblackledge@misdmail.org

October is Dyslexia Awareness Month

Dyslexia is a neurological condition caused by a different wiring of the brain. There is no cure for dyslexia and individuals with this condition must learn coping strategies. Research indicates that dyslexia has no relationship to intelligence. Individuals with dyslexia are neither more nor less intelligent than the general population. Some say the way individuals with dyslexia think can actually be an asset in achieving success.

Cross Country Sweep

We are beyond proud of our runners! We swept all four divisions for the second time in a row!

Our home cross-country meet versus Kerr, Worley and Wester was an extraordinary day to remember, as this was the first time we have had INDIVIDUAL champions in all four divisions at a meet!

Congratulations to Harper Cantu, Riley McCain, Natalie Morris, and Hunter Self for their efforts. Everyone did a great job!
