Friday, September 3rd was a day to celebrate being a Jenkins Eagle.  Almost everyone showed their spirit by wearing the JMS colors of blue, gold, and white!  Some students were even selected for door prizes! 

Take a look at the photos and visit our photo gallery for even more pictures!

Fall pictures will be taken on Wednesday, September 8th, in the Library Media Center. Students will report to the library during their language arts classes. Students should be in dress code and dressed to impress.

Order information was sent home with students two weeks ago and a reminder will be sent on Tuesday, the day before Picture Day. If you need an order form, they are available in the main office and in the library or you can order online at the photographer’s website by clicking HERE.

Photo orders will be received in about three weeks. ID cards will be included free to students.  Replacements ID’s can be ordered for 5 dollars.

Reading Counts has been upgraded and updated and all sixth graders are now in the system. Reading Counts tests can be taken in every student’s Language Arts class, the sixth grade computer lab (with teacher permission) and in the library media center beginning tomorrow. All sixth graders have a user name of their first and last name with no spaces and a password in this format: Eagles1@(lunch number). The “E” in eagles must be capitalized and each student should enter their new 5 digit lunch number. Seventh and eighth graders may also use the Reading Counts system but they must use last year’s password until the full conversion is complete.

Currently, we do offer tests on all Sunshine State readers except Lost Time, which is scheduled to be released very soon.

Our library system is not quite ready to go with only 1/3 of the student accounts being active and accurate. We’re still waiting to hear from our district tech people on when we can expect to have everything in running order, all former 8^th grade accounts migrated to PHS, and all of the current 7^th and 8^th grade data updated and correct, but we will begin Library Orientation for sixth graders next week.

We’re very excited to get everyone in the library to see the new books ready for checkout. We have some exciting challenges this year including a new MILLION WORD CHALLENGE! Students who earn a million words this school year will be our Super Stars and get all the perks that go along with being famous! One eighth grader took tests today on books he read this summer and according to the Reading Counts program, which tracks the number of words read, he has already read 100,000 words!

So get ready to come to the library. The doors are about to swing wide open and we’ll be the busiest place in the entire school. Come by soon and let our library assistants help you with Reading Counts or with finding a book we know you’ll love.

This was such a HARD decision! I have been trying to figure this out for hours and I am sad you all couldn’t be on the team. I really hope you all know how well  you have done and I encourage you to please keep trying and playing sports. I hope to start a volleyball program later in the year for everyone so all you wonderfully talented girls can have a chance to play.

Practice will be Tuesday (9/7), Wednesday (9/8), and Thursday (9/9) from 2:15-3:00 or 3:15. You will need knee pads for practice.

In order to play in the games (first one is 9/10), you will have to have a current physical. You can get a physical or bring a copy of one you have had within the last 365 days. We must have this on file before you can play in the games.

Congratulations Girls!
