Our 5th grade students had an amazing visit to EJMS today! They explored, learned, and got a glimpse of what’s ahead in middle school. 📌 Families — be sure to check out the important information below to help your child get ready for this exciting next step! 👇 💚Tuesday, May 13 is a parent night. More information about times to come. 💙Middle School 101 will be the Tuesday the week before school starts from 12:30-3:30. This is for students to get their schedule and meet all their teachers. 💚If students are interested in band or chorus, a Google form will soon be shared for students to say they are interested. These are year long classes and are a great way for students to learn an instrument (their voice included). Students can also do BOTH! If students don’t want band or chorus, they will have different Arts classes throughout the year. 💙Lastly, be sure to follow East Jessamine Middle School on Facebook. They post all kinds of reminders and updates about things happening at school.
Happy Administrative Assistant Day! Julie and Jennifer are the heart of our school! Thank you for keeping everything moving and supporting our staff, families, and students every single day. We would be lost without you!

Happy Bus Driver Appreciation Day! Thank you for getting our students to and from school safely each day. We are so grateful for all you do!
Today, our 3rd–5th grade students had the incredible opportunity to hear from a very special guest, Alex Meacham!
Alex shared his inspiring journey — from earning his Communication Degree at the University of Cincinnati and playing for the Bearcats under Hall of Fame Coach Bob Huggins, to writing a best-selling book Walk of a Lifetime and working with Michael Jordan’s brand on a limited edition sneaker.
Today, Alex is the President of Shining Star Sports, overseeing 40+ AAU basketball teams and multiple basketball facilities in the Greater Cincinnati area. He’s also a TV analyst, podcast host, and a dedicated community leader serving on the Boards for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Cincinnati and the Talbert House Fatherhood Project.
Our students walked away today encouraged to chase their dreams, work hard, and make a positive impact in their communities!
Thank you, Alex, for inspiring our students!
