MS Panther News
Our students are making headlines, and we want to share all the great news with you. We will keep this page updated with important announcements, news stories, and student shout outs. Please check in often and help us celebrate our students’ many achievements.
As we enter testing season, it’s more important than ever for students to be present and on time for school each day. Attendance plays a big role in student success, especially during testing. When making appointments or other plans, please do your best to avoid scheduling during our testing dates so that students can complete their ILEARN tests on their scheduled days, with as little disruption as possible.
We will begin testing on Tuesday, April 22 and finish on May 1. Below is our testing schedule:
- Tuesday, April 22, 2025, and Wednesday, April 23, 2025: CAT Testing English-Language Arts
- Thursday, April 24, 2025, and Friday, April 25, 2025: CAT Testing Math
- Tuesday, April 29, 2025: Performance Task Math
- Wednesday, April 30, 2025, and Thursday, May 1, 2025: Performance Task English-Language Arts

The JCMS pool will be temporarily closed to allow our maintenance crew to perform necessary maintenance and upgrades. The closure began on March 13, and we anticipate the pool reopening by mid-April.
During this time, all pool activities, including open swim and lap swim, will be unavailable. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve our facilities. Please stay tuned for updates on the reopening date.
Thank you for your cooperation!
