| Jasper Middle School offers many academic, athletic, and co-curricular activities. I urge students to take advantage of the many opportunities our school offers. We welcome the support and input of parents as we work together to provide each student with the best possible education. We must work hard to understand the intellectual and social characteristics of the early adolescents so that we can provide the foundation for a quality learning experience at Jasper Middle School. Along with the staff of Jasper Middle School, Mike and I pledge to work diligently to help our children as they make decisions and choices that will affect their personal and academic future. We have a strong academic core in the community and we will continue to strive to reach our goal of empowering every student to become a productive and contributing member of the community. We believe that our programs provide opportunities for this to happen. We invite members of the community to visit our school and look at our programs. There is an open invitation to community members to become part of our School Improvement Team. The School Improvement process is ongoing. The ultimate goal of the School Improvement Team is to improve student achievement and it is our belief that this goal is a community responsibility. |
