A Note from Principal DeVito
Good Afternoon, Jaguar Nation!
I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our Jones Middle School Community of Veterans for joining us on Monday for our first-ever Veterans Day Breakfast. It was a joy to see our students perform, enjoy breakfast, and have the chance to honor your service. A special thank-you to our Breakfast Sponsor, Encore Wire, for generously supporting this event and showing their commitment to our veteran community.
We are also thrilled to announce our first-ever basketball games, happening on November 20th and November 21st. Please remember that students attending as spectators must be picked up by 8:00 p.m. if they are not accompanied by an adult.
Additionally, Picture Retake Day is scheduled for November 19th. Students who missed Picture Day or are new enrollees will be called down for photos during their English class. If your child is requesting a picture retake, they must bring a parent note specifically requesting a retake on November 19th. This note will serve as their pass and should be given to their English teacher. Please take time to discuss retake plans with your child before Tuesday.
Next Week’s Upcoming Events:
November 18: Hearing and Vision Screening
November 19: Jones MS School Picture Retakes
November 20: 7th Grade Jones MS Boys Basketball
November 21: 7th Grade Jones MS Girls Basketball
November 21: Jones MS Spelling Bee Finals
November 25-Novemer 29: Thanksgiving Break
Have a great weekend! Go Jags!

Counselors Corner
The counselors will be visiting classrooms to engage with our students on two important topics:
- Conflict Resolution for our 6th graders
- High School Endorsements for our 7th and 8th graders
These sessions are designed to provide valuable insights and guidance to our students at critical stages of their academic and personal development. Above, you’ll find the presentations that will be shared with the students during these sessions.
