Welcome!

The purpose of this blog is to share insights into educational issues affecting Jerome Middle School. These could be new teaching strategies; new ways of grading; new ways of holding students accountable; new ways of getting students involved in their learning; or even new ways of getting parents more involved in the events at school. I hope that these posts will help answer some questions about happenings at JMS!

JMS October Students of the Month



The motto of Jerome Middle School is "Effort, Pride, and Respect."  Effort - Do your best at all times; be there and be ready!  Pride - Your actions say who you are! Respect - Give it to get it!  Each month, our teams choose two students who are not only following our motto, they are living our motto.  

Examples of what our October Students of the Month do to "live" our motto are:  Go above and beyond in academics; helpful to both teachers and students; work hard to always give best effort and expect to achieve a high level of success; expect a lot of themselves; quiet and respectful; willing and ready to help others; meticulous in work and always show best effort; sincere; conscientious and friendly with teachers and peers; industrious and likeable; always participate in class; and complete assignments to a high standard.

Students of the Month for October are:  Katie Gambles, Jarrett Kimball, Sarah Stevenson, Kaydem Yost, Camas Robinson, Ruben Ramirez, Gage Burnham, Yovana Chavez, John Dunnagan, Briseida Figueroa Pulido, Delia Barragan, and Leo Peterson.
