This week, on the morning announcements, I shared with the student body my disappointment and frustration about the fight from the week before. I let them know that I have requested several students not return. It is unfortunate that a few students have also painted a negative perception for our community. However, I reminded students that I love JMB, I love them, and I know that those students involved last week do not represent ALL of the students at JMB. I also explained that attending school at JMB means "Sailing the Clipper Way." Anyone who distracts from that will receive consequences or potentially be removed from the school. We will not tolerate behavior that creates safety concerns or is violent. I consider fighting an act of violence. I reminded students that if they have a conflict, we have social workers and counselors who can help navigate conflict with other students. If you, as a parent, know your student is struggling, please reach out. I have included the names and emails of our counselors, admin, and social workers.

THIS WEEKS ATHLETIC EVENTS!
Yesterday, 11th grade students had the opportunity to take the ASVAB CEP. The ASVAB CEP is designed to help all students in 10th grade and above answer the burning question, "What job is right for me?" Planning for a bright future starts with career literacy. Career literacy is knowing facts about yourself and the world of work. It's what every student needs to make informed career decisions.
The Clipper Nation is happy to welcome Ms. Thompsen as JMB’s new Career Coach. Students, do you need help figuring out what careers you might be interested in, need help getting a job now or after you graduate, or want to discuss other options post-graduation? Schedule an appointment now and start charting your course to your future. See the link in your Class of Google Classroom to make an appointment.
If a student misses 5 or more unexcused days of school, their grades will be lost until they earn them back through attendance recovery. Attendance recovery takes place after school through the Step-Up program.
Students should follow these steps to attend Step-Up:
1. Register for the Step-Up Program here: https://forms.gle/8ydwgC7cSPxBYNww9
2. Sign up for each day you will participate by joining the Step-Up Google Classroom code: ZNKYWHM.
Step up is offered Monday - Thursday 3:00 - 4:30pm. An afterschool snack is served. Bus transportation home will be available in the near future, but at this time, students must have their own transportation home at 4:30pm.
