Incident Reports

As part of our PBIS (Positive Behavioral

Interventions and Support) program, students may be

written incident reports for a variety of minor

misbehaviors. Examples include: no ID card, forgotten

Chromebook, unprepared, disrespectful words, etc.

The intent of incident reports is to track these less

serious behaviors to provide students the opportunity to

correct their behavior. Homeroom teachers are to contact

a student’s family when they receive two incident reports

in a quarter. If a student receives three incident reports for

the same type of behavior they will be issued an office

referral and detention.

It is our goal at JAMS to allow our students the

opportunity to make good choices and to follow

expectations. By utilizing incident reports, we are able to

address behavioral concerns and allow students the

opportunity to succeed.

Extra-curricular Activities After some grueling tryouts and open gym dates,

JAMS is proud to have selected our Winter Athletic teams.

A big thank you to all who tried out!

This year’s cheerleaders will be led by CES

employee, Ms. Fournie. A Team basketball will be

coached by Mr. Porter. B Team basketball will be coached

by Mr. Bute, and 5/6 grade teams will be coached by Mr.

Brunner. This year’s volleyball team will be led by Mrs.

Ringler and Ms. Sears.

All regular season games will typically be held on

Tuesdays and Thursdays at Central Elementary School.

The cost to attend is two dollars for adults and one dollar

for students. Students and athletes need to be academically

eligible to participate or attend extra-curricular activities.

Most basketball players will ride the activity bus

after school to CES for practice. Cheerleading practice will

be held in the JAMS cafeteria and volleyball in the

multipurpose room. All athletes are expected to have a ride

home by the end of scheduled practice times.
