The JCMS staff is excited to welcome our students and families to our annual Family Learning Night tomorrow evening. Join us for a night filled with engaging, circus-themed activities happening all throughout the building.

There was a little mischief in Mrs. Cole’s classroom at Grafton Elementary! 🍀 Students built a clever leprechaun trap, but he was too fast and made his escape. Even though they didn’t catch him, the fun (and excitement) was worth it! 🌈✨
Sixteen 7th grade JCMS band students participated in the Illinois Grade School Music Association (IGSMA) Solo and Ensemble Contest at Coolidge Junior High School in Granite City on Saturday, March 14th. Two solos and one ensemble received superior ratings with a perfect score. All others received excellent ratings.
JCHS is proud to recognize its ISBE Student Advisory Member, Cloud Sutton, for representing Jersey 100 at the Student Advisory Council’s Student Summit 2026 in Springfield!
Cloud and his group presented on School Culture and Chronic Absenteeism, sharing important insights and ideas to help improve schools across Illinois. We’re incredibly proud of the way he represented our district!
We also appreciate Dr. Kate Sievers and Mr. Nick Wyatt for attending the summit and supporting this important work.
Here’s what Cloud had to say about his experience:
“The Summit was an incredibly rejuvenating experience. Truly, the topics—positive and negative—that our audiences had covered were, in most cases, something I didn't know or think of when it comes to advising education legislation. From how school architecture affects students' mental health, to how awesome having a variety of school clubs can be for inclusivity. It was honestly one of the greatest events I have gone to. The future of Illinois is in good hands!”
Way to go, Cloud! 👏💙
