At Jefferson County Middle School we work diligently to create and maintain an inclusive environment where students feel safe and supported to learn and grow. JCMS is focused on student growth and learning through a guaranteed and viable curriculum for all students. We collaborate weekly in professional learning communities to analyze student work, discuss research-proven instructional strategies, and to adjust our teaching to meet the diverse needs of our students. Additionally, we provide a school wide intervention and enrichment program to provide students with extra time and support to reach their highest potential.

State Goals

The Oregon Department of Education is partnering with school districts and local communities to ensure a 90% ontime, four year graduation rate by 2025. To progress toward this goal, the state will prioritize efforts to improve attendance, provide a well-rounded education, invest in implementing culturally responsive practices, and promote continuous improvement to close opportunity and achievement gaps for historically and currently underserved students.

During the year we focus on teaching and supporting the whole student through our Advisory program and SEL instruction to build a foundation for students to feel safe, secure, and confident. Multiple family engagement activities provide our community with opportunities to engage with staff and learn about procedures, programs and partnerships. To support our bilingual families we have several Spanish speaking staff that assures all meetings, information, and communications are translated.
