Coloma Junior High

The student of the month for the JH is Drake Goldner! Drake is an 8th grade student at the Junior High. Drake was nominated by his teachers for his hard work and perseverance in class. Drake's favorite subject is Math and when he grows up he wants to be an Olympic wrestler because his favorite thing outside of school is wrestling. Drake is also involved in Honor Club and other sports at the Junior High. Congratulations, Drake!

The end of 1st Marking Period is this Friday!

Students should turn in all missing assignments by the end of the day on Tuesday to qualify for our Go Green Reward on Thursday. You can check their missing assignments in PowerSchool.

Picture Retakes

Picture Retakes are scheduled for Friday, Oct. 18th. Any student that was absent on the initial picture day or interested in a retake will be invited down to the media center for retakes. Students may pick up a picture form in the main office.

Unity Day - Wednesday

On Wednesday, students are encouraged to wear Orange in celebration of Unity Day.

Wear and share orange to show unity for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion and to send a visible message to stop bullying.

7th and 8th Grade Boys Basketball Sign Ups

There are Boys Basketball Sign Ups available in the main office as well as an informational packet. Stop by and grab the information during passing time or lunch. Students must have a physical on file and their information completed on Big Teams in order to participate.

Fall Band and Choir Concert Thursday

This Thursday, Oct. 17th we will hold our Fall Band and Choir Concert. Come out to see your students perform.

On Tuesday, October 15th, Prosecutor Amy Byrd from the Berrien County Prosecutor's Office will be presenting to our students about Digital Citizenship and Cyberbullying.

Prosecutor Byrd was raised on her family's vegetable farm in Benton Township and experienced firsthand the value of dedication and teamwork. She completed her undergraduate studies at Notre Dame before attending Thomas M. Cooley Law School. She then found her way back to Southwest Michigan and began her career at the prosecutor's office. Throughout her tenure as the assistant prosecuting attorney, he has handled a diverse range of cases. She has worked in the appellate division, the adult criminal division, the juvenile division, and the neglect and abuse division. She has successfully prosecuted complex cases, including homicides, embezzlement, drug trafficking, and delivery of controlled substances causing death.

If you have any questions regarding the presentation, please reach out to our main office at 269-468-2405.

There will be a Parent Meeting for students that are involved with Robotics on Tuesday, October 15th. The meeting will be held in the High School in Room 204. Please enter through the gym doors and students will be available to escort you to the room.

We will be holding our annual Halloween Dance on Oct. 30th 5:30 - 7:30pm. Our Dances are considered No Referral Parties, which means that students qualify to attend by not having any discipline referrals from 9/30 - 10/30. This is a great incentive for students to demonstrate their CARE Expectations every day. We will release more information about the dance as it approaches.

The Junior High runs Study Hall on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays each week. Study Hall is supervised by our certified teachers that are able to support a variety of subjects. There is no cost to attend and no sign up required. Students only need to have their own transportation home at 4:05.

For safety reasons, all students will sign in each afternoon and unless prior arrangements are made they will remain in the classroom until dismissal at 4:05.

Students can use this as a safe and supervised place to work on homework, receive extra help, utilize internet to complete projects, or wait for transportation. All JH students are welcome to attend.
