School Supply List
Dear Parents:
Welcome to the Jackson Hole Middle
School Parent Page! As the
principal of the Middle School, I want you to know how much I value your
involvement in your child’s education.
Parents play a crucial role in their
child’s educational success. Checking
on homework, asking questions about what they are studying, encouraging
reading, and conversations about current events all help your child. We also
appreciate parents who have the time to volunteer in school. Please check out our Media Center page
for appropriate web sites that will help your child with research, as well as
educational sites that they may enjoy going to.
Homework: We provide an agenda for your child to write assignments down,
and teachers have either blogs with homework assignments and information on
them, or include that information in emails that are sent home to you on a
regular basis. Students should not
be confused about any of their homework assignments! Teachers know that homework is an important part of
learning, as it reinforces what is taught in school and provides feedback to
the teachers on how well students are learning. Parents who set clear expectations that homework is
important and must be done help their child be successful. Have a quiet place
for homework to be done, ask questions about what they are working on, and
answer questions when they arise. If your child is not able to do most of the
homework assignment independently – after many attempts, then let the teacher
know that your child really did try, but that it was too difficult.
Volunteering: Participation does not end after the elementary grades; your
involvement here at JHMS does make a difference. Whether you volunteer in our
Media Center on a regular basis or help out with a special project, we offer a
wide variety of options for you to be a part of our school that goes well
beyond "cookies and punch" and chaperoning. (Although chaperoning our
dances can be lots of fun!) Your involvement strongly impacts both the quality
and quantity of learning opportunities for our students.
Parents Involved in Education: The first Wednesday
of every month I hold an informal meeting with parents to discuss what is
happening at the Middle School.
This is a great opportunity to hear about major initiatives, student
achievement and for me to answer your questions and discuss your concerns. These meetings are extremely helpful to
me in terms of getting your input and suggestions.
Please feel comfortable to direct your questions, concerns
or suggestions to me, Jean Coldsmith by phone: 733-4234 or email: jcoldsmith@teton1.k12.wy.us
