Happy Valentine's Day
No School On Monday
Jim Barnes parents it has been a long 2 weeks of Interim Testing. Our students worked very hard and the information from these tests will allow us to make changes and adjustments that will help us guide our instruction up until the STAAR testing. Many students will be having their Toreador time adjusted and we will also have a special smaller intervention on Fridays to add some extra help for some of our students to help them be more successful. We are really looking forward to seeing how great our kids are going to do on STAAR testing this year. Tonight is our Valentine’s Dance fundraiser for PBIS.
Parents we will not have school on Monday 2/17 for President’s Day. We look forward for all of our students being back on Tuesday 2/18. Track season is in full swing. Our students will be having track meets on Thursdays starting this week with a meet at SHS.
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!
No Glass Bottles
There has been several glass breaks in the hallways and we need to make sure that our students and staff remain safe. Parents make sure your stduents are not bringing any items in glass containers. Thanks
