Bear Trail

Parents,

We will end our day before Thanksgiving Break with a Pep Rally. If you are planning to pick up your student before dismissal at 4:10 we are asking that you try to do so before 2:30. Once we begin 7th period students will be difficult to locate due to the pep rally. If you arrive between 2:30 and 3:40 please allow extra time for us to locate your student.

Thank you,

JBMS Attendance

The JBMS Annual 8th Grade Career Day is Friday, January 24th. If you are interested in being a guest speaker, volunteer, or event sponsor please reach out to Ms. Rutledge (Associate Principal) or our JBMS PTO for more information!

Beginning this year, students in Fort Bend ISD will complete NWEA MAP computer-adaptive assessments three times a year to gain information about what students know and what they are ready to learn next. MAP also gives insight into how students are growing academically, allowing you to track your student's progress throughout the school year and across multiple years. Families will have access to their child's results after each testing window. NWEA MAP is replacing Renaissance 360. For more information, visit the NWEA Family Toolkit or contact your child’s teacher. NWEA Family Toolkit: https://www.nwea.org/family-toolkit/

Dear Parents,

I want to draw your attention to the FBISD Whole Child Health Webpage. We include this in all of our newsletters but it can easily be overlooked. This page has many different resources for students and families to access. For example links to See Something Share Something, 988 Suicide and Crisis Hotline which is for 24 hour/7 days a week immediate emotional support, and 211 Get connected with help for many other needs people may have. You will also find tabs that have resources for students and parents where information about talking to a counselor is recommended along with information about our mental health partners.
