Welcome to Thomas Jefferson Middle School!! At TJMS we are engaging minds, facilitating critical thinking, encouraging readers, inspiring writers and having high expectations. 

 

 

*It is important to have a charged Chromebook in order to be successful each day. Please help remind your student to do this nightly so they are prepared for class.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kid Account cards have been given to all students as of 9/15/2021: Kid Account is our system for car riders. Each student is given 2 Kid Account cards with their name and a bar code on it. When picking up your student after school in the car rider line, you will show the card to the staff member outside, they will scan the card. Once the card is scanned, your student's name will be projected on a screen in the gym (where the car riders are waiting) and they will know to proceed outside. If you need additional Kid Account cards, they are $2 each. You may get those in the main office from Kathy.

 

 

The Jefferson City Area YMCA offers a free membership for all area 8^th graders through their 8th Grade Initiative (8GI).  Their mission is to build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all and they believe strongly that this is a place where our communities 8^th graders can thrive and grow.  The YMCA want to make sure that opportunity to grow healthy habits is available for any 8^th grader.  All the student needs to do is stop by one of our three area Y’s  with a parent or guardian to sign up.  After that they have full access to the Y facilities.  The Y will also have opportunities to get together with other 8GI members throughout the year.

Jazz Band - Weekly student ensemble that rehearses jazz music charts while focusing on improvisation, history, and performance.  7th and 8th Grade students are welcome.  Meets after school in the band room once a week.  Must either be in Band class or play guitar, piano, or bass - this is not a club where just anyone can join. This is more of an enrichment ensemble for musical students who are already committed to working hard and want to learn a new form of music.  Tuesdays after school from 4:00 to 5:15. If questions, contact Mr. McFall (email: ryan.mcfall@jcschools.us)
