To our incredible new employees, we're beyond thrilled to have met you at New Employee Orientation. Your enthusiasm and dedication are already shining bright, and we can't wait to see all the amazing things you'll achieve with us. Wishing you all the best for an incredible year!
The JCMS Panther Softball team has kicked off their season on a positive note, securing three wins. Tomorrow night at 4:30, they will be playing against Calhoun in a home game.
We had an amazing time at our last "Reading in the Park" event! Mr. Rod Jackson captivated the kids with his storytelling skills, reading the fascinating tale "Three Names." But that's not all – he also took them on an exciting journey through history, teaching them about one-room schoolhouses and showcasing items from that era.
The children had a blast enjoying snacks, spending quality time with Bluey from the Jerseyville Public Library, and unleashing their creativity with coloring books provided by the talented Jersey County Arts Council. And the highlight of the day was when they crafted their own Crayon characters using popsicle sticks!
We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to the City of Jerseyville, the City of Grafton, and the Village of Fieldon for generously allowing us to use their beautiful parks as the perfect setting for our events. To the Jersey County Arts Council and Jerseyville Public Library, thank you for always going above and beyond! Your support made this experience even more special! Thank you to everyone involved!
A BIG thank you also goes out to our Reading Coaches, Mindy Jackson, Sara Pranger, and Barbara Smith. Your hard work and dedication to prepare for these events have driven our success, and we're so grateful for your efforts!
Last but not least, we extend our appreciation to all the wonderful families who joined us this summer. Your enthusiasm and active participation made each event truly memorable. Together, we're creating a love for reading and learning that will last a lifetime!
We are excited to welcome our students back to JCMS for the 2023-2024 school year! Please see the following documents for back to school information. (Click links to view)

🏢 New Venue: Grafton Elementary School

We had a great time at Reading in the Park today! We went to the Jersey County Court House, where the Honorable Judge Allison Lorton read "The Bad Seed." We had a surprise visit from Miss Jersey County, Kyndal Price, along with a friendly dinosaur from the Jerseyville Public Library. The Jersey County Arts Council helped the kids create bad seeds (or good seeds 😊), and Mrs. Kelly Miller brought more great 3D prizes that she created. We raffled off some books and Donor City Pool passes too. Thank you to everyone involved!

We had a lovely time at today’s Reading in the Park! Mr. Tim Harmon, a City of Jerseyville Volunteer Firefighter and Principal at Marquette High School read Clifford the Firedog.
