Hello, Centurion Families!
I want to sincerely thank everyone who completed their Educational Benefits Form (EBF) during registration or before registration. Your prompt response is greatly appreciated.
If you have not yet completed your EBF, please take a few moments to do so as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation and support!
One of our goals this school year is to have a completed Educational Benefits Form (EBF) on file for every JCTMS student. We encourage all families to complete the form, regardless of whether your child qualifies for free or reduced-price meals.
Completing the EBF is quick, confidential, and helps our school receive valuable funding that supports student programs, resources, and services.
Please complete the EBF before the first day of school, August 6, 2026
Complete the form online: https://www.myschoolapps.com/Application
If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact me at
