Jim Barnes Weekly Newsletter

Students worked extra hard this week getting caught up to qualify for our second nine weeks celebration. PTC provided us with two large blow ups that were placed in the gym for qualifying students. Those students that were passing all of their classes were able to attend the celebration. Celebration times were broken up by grade level and everyone had a great time. We are so proud of all of our students that qualified. Track is still working hard and our students are doing great at their meets. Band had their UIL competitions this week on Thursday and Friday. I am very proud of all the hard work that went into preparing for this contest. Spring Break is next week and we are all looking forward to the rest. When we return from Spring Break, we will be starting our new Toreador interventions.

Thanks again for helping make Jim Barnes Middle School a great place for students to excel. I hope everyone has a great weekend. Remember we are One Team, Learning Together, Elevating Excellence. ¡Ole!

Remember the street in front of Koenecke Elem is shut down. Please travel to Barnes by coming on off of 467. The outside line is a through lane and the left lane is the turn in lane to JBMS coming from 467. Please try and avoid Barnes drive as the construction vehicles will be using this entrance. Do not park in the circle drive around Barnes. This is a fire lane and the city of Seguin will ticket you if you leave your car in that driveway. Drop off time begins at 7:30. But students will not be allowed into the building until 7:50. All students will enter by the gym doors in the morning. Parents may go in the main entrance if they need to speak to anyone in the office, but students will be directed to the gym doors. Pick up will be in circle drive starting at 3:40.
