General Information
Please keep your contact information updated. This can be done through your Aspen Parent Portal or by contacting LeAnn Franklin 378-2435 in the counseling office. It's vitally important that we have current contact phone numbers and a correct address for each student. If your email changes be sure to let us know that as well.
You MUST present an ID when visiting Sevier or checking out your student.
Please try to have after school arrangements communicated with your child prior to them arriving to school.
Students attending sporting events need to remain with their guardian. Students that are dropped off without an adult with them will not be allowed to enter the sporting event.
Weightlifting Opportunity for Middle School
KCS Middle School Cell Phone Policy
Students’ cell phones and other electronic devices are to be turned off and not visible upon a student’s arrival to school (upon entering the building) until the end of the student’s school day. Students must store their cell phones and other electronic devices in their backpacks (exceptions may be granted for medical or other extraordinary circumstances as determined by the building principal or designee). Cell phones may be confiscated if this rule is violated. When confiscated from students, parents will be asked to retrieve the cell phone from the school administration.
1st offense - The item will be confiscated and kept at the school for a minimum of five (5) consecutive school days. To retrieve the confiscated item, a parent or guardian must contact the appropriate administrator.
2nd offense - When a student has a second offense during the current semester, the item will be confiscated for a minimum of ten (10) school days. A parent or guardian must retrieve the confiscated item from the front office.
3rd offense - When a student has a third offense during the current semester, the item may be confiscated for the remainder of the school year. A parent or guardian may retrieve the confiscated item at the end of the school day on the last day of the school year.
Hello from our PTO
JSMS PTA transitioned to a PTO at the end of last school year. What does that even mean? It means that membership is FREE now! It also means that we get to keep 100% of all our donations and are not required to send any funds to the national organization. We are working hard to finalize all the transition details. Be on the lookout in the next Weekly Warrior for more membership information.
Need some swag? We have created an online shop where you can order at your convenience. We outsourced a local vendor for our spirit shop this year and we couldn't be happier. Go check it out! It's more than just tees. We have our very own Stanley Dupe! Visit the link below to order!
We do have a few spots to fill in our slate of officers. We are looking for a President (or President co-chair) position. If you are interested in helping serve on this board, please reach out to Jessica Slaughter at jessns1015@gmail.com. We look forward to working with you!
