We are Burros!

At JMS every student understands they have the ability, skills and support needed to learn at the highest levels. 

Together we:

• Provide an environment in which everyone feels they belong and are supported

• Put student needs and learning first

• Establish a school culture in which effort, perseverance, practice, and failure are part of the learning process

• Teach and model academic skills and behaviors to build student agency

• Use data-driven decisions to improve student learning on a continuous basis

• Take collective responsibility for learning through a collaborative culture of interdependence
