 Last Thursday evening was Back to School Night at JWMS, and we experienced an excellent turn-out as evidenced by our packed parking lot! Thank you, parents and students, for taking an active interest in our school community. Teachers worked hard to prepare presentations, parents asked insightful questions, and students had a chance to show off their school. Parents, your next opportunity to connect with teachers face-to-face will be at our fall Conferences on October 24th and 25th. If you have questions or concerns before then, please feel free to use our Teacher Finder to locate contact information for your student's teachers. We know this year will be a success and we are committed to providing quality education for your child. Thank you for your involvement!
Back to School Night  Parents, students, and teachers will connect at James Workman's Back to School Night on Thursday, September 20th. The event begins at 6:30pm and lasts until 8:30pm. Parents are highly encouraged to bring their students and attend. Be in your student's first period classroom at 6:30pm sharp, then follow the evening's bell schedule to progress through your student's typical day at JWMS. This is a wonderful opportunity for parents to meet teachers and begin a partnership for student success.
 James Workman has developed an official policy regarding student participation in special activities at the end of the academic year. Traditionally, JWMS has held grade level BBQ's and other special events to honor students' hard work. Students need to start the 2011-2012 school year with the end in mind; the criteria that will be used to determine participation eligibility in end of the year activities can be found below: Criteria for Participation in End of Year Activities In an effort to help middle school students be more successful in middle school, to help them
