WEST ELEMENTARY RECEIVES SUPER STRETCH GROWTH DESIGNATION!!!!

West Elementary has been named a 2025 Super Stretch Growth School for exceptional performance on the iReady Diagnostic assessments!

This is an honor given to only 176 of nearly 40,000 schools nationwide.

This is the first Super Stretch School recognition in our iReady representative’s territory in the past five years—a tremendous accomplishment for our staff and students.

Percentage of students who achieved stretch growth: 55% in ELA and 61% in Math!!

A special thank you to our teachers for their dedication to helping students “grow”!
West celebrated this achievement with a building-wide event today.

GAME DAY AND SENIOR NIGHT!
Panther fans, come support your team in their final regular season game against the Columbia Eagles. We will be honoring Seniors (in this order) from Football, Band, Color Guard, FFA, Golf, XC, Dance and Cheer. Senior festivities will begin at 6pm.

What an amazing day for our West Pre-K Classes! We visited the incredible QEM Fire Station, and they truly spoiled our students with an unforgettable experience.

From spraying the fire hose and walking through an ambulance to sitting in a helicopter and enjoying a treat, every student was beaming! Thank you, QEM, for this fantastic community resource and learning opportunity!

JCMS Girls Basketball concluded their tournament this week. The 7th grade Panthers took home hardware for 2nd place while the 8th grade team were crowned Champions! Congratulations to Lainey Williams who won the 8th grade free throw competition.

✨ Today we were honored to welcome State Representative C.D. Davidsmeyer to JCMS and JCHS as part of the Illinois Principals Association’s Principal for a Day program! Representative Davidsmeyer joined our principals and students to experience a day in the life of our schools—visiting classrooms, connecting with students, and seeing firsthand the incredible teaching and learning happening in our district. We appreciate his time, leadership, and commitment to supporting public education and our communities. Thank you, Representative Davidsmeyer, for spending the day with us and celebrating the great things happening in the Jersey 100 school district!💙

Jersey 100 Library-Media Specialists Becca Leslie (JCHS), Rachel Evans (JCMS), and Angie Noble (East) recently attended the Association of Illinois School Library Educators (AISLE) conference held in Champaign, IL. Pictured is Mrs. Leslie meeting with authors Laurie Halse Anderson and Katherine Applegate during their book signing events. Mrs. Evans is shown presenting as a panelist during the breakout session "Success in School Databases--Real Schools, Real Success." Finally, the Library Book Selection Service announced the winners of the 2025 LBSS Feed Your Need grants, and Mrs. Noble was one of the winners! It was an inspiring and rewarding event that celebrated collaboration, professional growth, and the many ways librarians continue to support readers and learning in their communities—ideals proudly supported by the Jersey 100 school district.
