Building relationships and positive school culture are essential to creating and sustaining a safe learning environment. JCMS utilizes multiple systems to educate and support students. These systems include: PBIS, Advisory, SEL, CHAMPS, Buffalo Bucks, District/building handbooks and frequent training for certified and classified staff on these systems. Furthermore, students and families have multiple methods to report concerns to staff in a secure manner. Additionally, our staff promotes safety, inclusivity, and acceptance in our school. To ensure the safety of our students, our school continually reflects on safety protocols and system evaluation. Additionally, JCMS has hired a Student Success Coordinator to focus on school Culture and Safety.

JCMS values extracurricular activities, including interscholastic sports, academic clubs, service clubs and more. Our offerings include: Athletics, Intramurals, 21st Century after school programs, Student Leadership, NJHS, FFA, OSU Extension, and AVID.
