A Note from Principal DeVito
Good Afternoon, Jaguar Nation!
Starting next semester, we are excited to introduce Minga, a platform designed to enhance your child’s school experience while prioritizing safety and convenience. At Jones Middle School, we are committed to creating a safe and supportive environment, and Minga helps us achieve that goal.
Minga Features:
1. Digital Access
Students will access Minga from the student dashboard on their chromebook.
2. Positive Behavior Rewards
Minga lets us recognize and reward positive behaviors. Students earn points for good character and participating in school events, which they can redeem for rewards.
3. Timely Notifications
Parents will get quick updates about guidance, praise, check-ins, or support their student receives in class or on campus.
4. Event Check-Ins
Students can check in at activities like tutorials, events, concerts, and earn points for actively participating on campus.
5. Digital Hall Passes
Minga’s hall pass system helps us monitor student time outside the classroom and know where kids are in the building.
We are excited about this new opportunity to engage and connect students to our campus! Have a great day! Go Jags!
