September is here!

Parents,

We are well into the school year.  It would be a great idea to sit down and have a talk with your student as to how things are going in their classes. 

What they are learning...

What they like about school.....

What they are struggling with.....

How are their extra curricular activities are going.....

Anything they want to share with you about school....

JMC access should be up and running.  Mr. Kronneman sent an e mail earlier suggesting you use FireFox when viewing JMC parent access.  If you have any questions please let us know in the office.  What you should be looking for is missing assignments or LI (this means Late Included - it is missing but figured as a zero so you do not get a false impression of the grade.) 

The Success Center is still available every night after school for students missing assignments.  We are starting to get a few more people in there but it has been pretty sparse.  Do not be afraid to require your child to stay.  If you have any questions please let us know. 

During periods 2-6 right now we have a para professional assigned to help struggling students 1 on 1.  If you are interested in getting some more help for your student please contact me and we can get something worked out. 

As I have said many times, the more involvement you can have with your child's education the better the chances of success will be.  Please take an active interest in your child's education and help them in any way that you can. 

Have a great week!

Mr. Recker

Photography Class Field Trip

I was able to help chaperone the photography class as we headed out into the community for a nature photo shoot.  Bob and Ruth Baack were our hosts and they have a lovely yard.  There were many flowers, plants and decorations.  It was a great place for Mrs. Carlson's photography students to get some great pictures.  They were working on close ups of flowers and other nature shots.

Thanks so much to Bob and Ruth for hosting us today!
