Communication is a critical component in creating a productive, positive, and trusting educational environment. Working together we can establish efficient and effective communication allowing us to fulfill our mission of teaching and learning. The complete listing of communication procedures are found in the JWMS Middle School Handbook.

The JWMS Student Planner is our first line of communication between School and Home. Students are required to list their assignments and note important information by using this tool. Parents are encouraged to check the Student Planner daily, and to share any questions or concerns by writing a note to the teacher. This will allow teachers to respond in a timely manner and keep the lines of communication open.

The JWMS Welcome Back Picnic kicks off the school year. All students and their families are welcome to attend this relaxing School/Family event. The 6th grade students as well as students who are new to JWMS receive an orientation, school tour, and their class schedule.

Parent Teacher Conferences are held 3 times per year. The 1st and 3rd quarter conferences invite all parents to meet briefly with the teachers. The 2nd quarter conferences are by-request and scheduled through Pupil Services. The team meets together allowing more time to discuss specific student concerns.

The School District of Rhinelander policies regarding Public and Parent Concerns can be found on the District website.

Students who are involved in activities are expected to follow the policies outlined in the School District of Rhinelander Activity Handbook.
