PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Dear Jackson Middle School Students, Staff, and Parents,
Welcome to the JMS family. As this school year begins, we are excited about continuing to build on our academic, athletic, and positive community influence. Our staff is working hard to prepare engaging and rewarding learning experiences to meet the needs of all students. We will be adding additions to our school garden project with the purchase of a greenhouse through a USDA grant. We will also be expanding our efforts in agricultural education through partnerships with the Alabama Extension office and the Alabama Wildlife Federation. Continued partnerships with the Alabama Civil Air Patrol and the U.S. Space and Rocket Center are designed to bolster our already successful Science and Robotics departments. We will continue to research, purchase, and utilize state-of-the-art technology to ensure that our students at JMS have every opportunity to prepare for present and future jobs.
We look forward to seeing our new students as well as those who are returning to us. We have high expectations of our students, and we have high expectations of ourselves to help all JMS students learn and grow into well-rounded citizens. Our continued goal is to develop leadership skills, social and emotional skills, and academic skills to prepare students for success, not only in middle school, but also in high school, career, relationships, and life-long learning. Parents, you play such an important part in the school's success in these endeavors. We value your opinion and support as we seek to make our community, state, and nation a better place through our students.
We look forward to another year of continued success in academics, athletics, and the community. I wish you all a wonderful school year. If I can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me and know that my door is always open. Go Aggies!!!
Sincerely,
Mr. Adams M. Andrews, Principal
Jackson Middle School Mission Statement
The mission of Jackson Middle School is to serve as a positive environment for academic and personal development between the elementary and high school years. We believe that this mission extends to the total school environment.
Jackson Middle School Vision Statement
The vision of Jackson Middle School is that our students, in a safe and healthy environment, will develop an understanding of and a respect for themselves and others, a love of learning now and in the future, and a
1
sound base of academic skills. Moreover we will help each student recognize that they all have rights and responsibilities in a democratic society.
Jackson Middle School Beliefs
Belief is the knowledge that we can do something. It is the inner feeling that what we undertake, we can accomplish. For the most part, all of us have the ability to look at something and know whether or not we can do it. In belief there is power. Our eyes are open, our opportunities become plain, and our vision becomes reality. 1. Each student should have the right to learn in an atmosphere
conducive to learning. 2. Students, teachers, and administrators should treat each other with
respect. 3. Learning is enhanced by maintaining a physically safe and comfortable
environment. 4. Collaboration is essential among parents, teachers, and students in the
development of character. 5. Students should be held accountable for proper behavior within the
school and community. 6. Students need strong discipline and an environment conducive for
learning. 7. Students should be challenged to achieve their maximum potential. 8. Disciplined, responsible, and motivated students with positive self-
concepts will more likely attain and achieve the high standards set for them.
