NEW JCTMS CLUB: JCTMS is starting a new club: the Arab Student Union. If interested, or if you have questions about the club please email Ms. Faulkenberg at jessica.faulkenberg@jefferson.kyschools.us Meetings will take place on Wednesdays starting February 11th.

8th Grade Parents: JCTMS 8th graders have been selected to participate in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) on February 4.

The National Assessment of Educational Progress, also known as The Nation’s Report Card, provides important information about student academic achievement and learning experiences in various subject areas. NAEP is the largest nationally representative and ongoing assessment of what students in public and private schools across the United States know and are able to do.

Approximately 100 8th grade students were randomly selected to participate in this assessment. Letters with additional information were sent home last week. Please ask your student if they received a letter.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please feel free to contact Mrs. Darden, 7th Grade Counselor and Building Assessment Coordinator, at racaiya.darden@jefferson.kyschools.us.
