Important Communication Tools

We want you to know that you can locate teacher web page information, e-mail addresses, and phone extensions by going to the Staff Listing and Teacher Websites page under Contact Us.

Remember that students are supposed to write the objective (information they are learning) and note assigned homework, quiz, and/or scheduled tests in their Student Planner. This is a great tool for parents
to dialogue with their children about their
day at school.

Thank you for your support in helping your child reach his or her academic potential. Your encouragement and involvement will make all the difference in how your student perceives his or her middle school years. Together, working as a team, we can help your child learn, succeed, and achieve!

This time of the school year becomes sentimental for our eighth grade students as they wind down their time as a middle school student and prepare for their future in high school. To celebrate their many successes during their middle school experience, and wish them well as they begin their next step as high school students, the middle school will host a number of events for them.

On May 15, eighth graders will participate in their yearbook signing party. This event will allow them to come together and share special comments in their classmates’ yearbooks. This will then serve as a keepsake of their experiences throughout the school year. If your eighth grader has not yet purchased a yearbook, you may still purchase one in the front office.

We are planning three fun events for the eighth graders on May 16 and 17. On May 16, they will enjoy their 8th grade field trip. Then during school on May 17, they will enjoy an 8th grade luncheon with a free lunch sponsored by student council. That evening, we will also be hosting the 8th grade dance from 6:00-8:00 p.m. in the cafeteria.

Their culminating event will be the celebration of their awards assembly on May 21. This assembly will allow the eighth grade students and teachers to recognize outstanding students as well as honor the Cougar and Lady Cougar of the Year.

The staff at J.O. Combs Middle School is very proud of the great school year the eighth graders have experienced and are looking forward to participating in each of these upcoming events with them.
