📣 Important Scheduling Update for the 2025–26 School Year 📣 Some families may notice that student schedules are visible in Infinite Campus and/or Canvas. Please note that these schedules are subject to change and are not final! At Jefferson, we take time to carefully review academic data, student needs, and class balance to ensure the best fit for all students. Final schedules will be released on MONDAY, AUGUST 11th, during 6th Grade Orientation and Open House.🔑 Please note the following important points: ✅ Schedules are not final until August 11 ✅ Encore class change requests (such as band, art, CTE) may be submitted in person on August 11 at 6th Grade Orientation or Open House ❌ Requests to change core classes or teams will not be considered ✔️ The only exception for a core class change is if a student is incorrectly scheduled in or out of an accelerated core class. These changes will only be made if the student does not meet the placement criteria or was overlooked during the placement process. We appreciate your understanding as we finalize schedules that support academic growth and strong classroom communities. We hope you are all enjoying your summer!

It is NOT too early to complete your student athlete's Dragonfly Max account. All forms in the Dragonfly Max account, including a current physical and "cleared to play" sports form must uploaded to the account in order for your athlete to try out for any sport at TJMS! Get this done over the summer months so your student is able to try out for sports starting in August. This is for all rising 6th, 7th, & 8th graders! www.dragonflymax.com
