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.
