Jeannette Announcements

  • Dear Jeannette family,
    This week, many of us will show our gratitude for all of the blessings that we have. I would like to thank each of you for entrusting the education of your precious children to the Jeannette staff. We are grateful to be a part of your children's lives and - by extension - your lives.

    We wish you a restful Thanksgiving. Enjoy the next few days with your family, and we'll welcome your children back to Jeannette on Monday!

  • Good morning, Patriots!

    Tomorrow is the big day - the PSAT 8 and PSAT 9!

    Parents, we need your help!!! Please ensure that your child arrives to school ON TIME tomorrow. This is very important.  We have to test 95% of our students in order to be in good standing with the state of Michigan!  

    Here is what their day will look like:

    - 7:30-7:50 AM - Students arrive and proceed to the cafeteria.
    - 7:50-8:00 AM - Students use the restroom, place all of their belongings in their lockers, and proceed to their testing rooms.  **8th and 9th graders have received their room assignments already. 9th graders who test in the gym will receive their seat assignments today during 5th hour. **
    - 8:00-8:20 AM - Proctors pass out testing materials and begin reading test directions.
    - 8:20 AM - Testing begins. Doors will shut and no students will be allowed in the testing rooms. If your student does not arrive at school by 8:15 AM tomorrow, they should stay home until 11:30 AM.
    - 8:20-11:30 AM - Test in progress. 
    - 11:30 AM-12:45 PM - Students will have 4th hour and lunch.
    - The rest of the day will proceed as normal.

    Students are NOT allowed to have any electronic devices in the testing rooms, including cell phones, smart watches, and Bluetooth headphones. These items should be kept in their lockers until after the test is over.

    Please help us by getting your student to school on time, ensuring that they get a good night's sleep, and making sure they eat a good breakfast.

    Thank you, and please let us know if you have any questions.

  • Dear Patriot families - 

    Here is our week 19 newsletter! https://www.smore.com/5yfxnu

    If you can believe it, we have finished our first semester of the school year. I don't know about you, but it flew by for us. We have had some exciting successes this year! Our attendance has greatly improved compared to last year, many more of our students passed their classes compared to last year, and those familiar with our building have said that the culture is more positive than it has been in years.

    Parents, you are an important part of these successes. Not only should you be proud of your children for doing well, but you should also be congratulated. You are participating in the Jeannette community more than ever, and your responsiveness to our calls and requests for help have kept your children on the right track. You are vital to everything positive that we are trying to achieve here.

    Thank you,

    Beth Grillo, Principal, Jeannette Junior High School
