You are not permitted in gym area or unsupervised anywhere on school grounds from 2:30-4:00 p.m. If you want to watch events, you need to leave and come back at the beginning of event.

10) Next week is “No Unkind Words Week.” Each day, students can dress different ways to have some fun. If you dress as directed for the day, you will be allowed to eat lunch first during your lunch time. Also, members of the Anti-Bullying Alliance will be taking pictures of students for TJMS Live, Facebook, and possibly the yearbook. Most importantly, we want to create a culture where students and staff say kind words to each other. So, avoid put-downs, teasing, bullying comments. Remember, “Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you- not because they are nice, but because you are.”
