Summer is here and it's the perfect time to relax in the sun with a great book!

June 5th, from 10am-1pm, will be the first of several days and times the library will be open to current EJMS families to stop in and check out books. Make sure to check out our summer reading display for information on how to earn chances to enter drawings for special prizes for reading select titles!

We want to take another moment to celebrate our Classified Employee of the Year, Marla Byrd!

Marla’s kindness, dedication, and unwavering support make a difference in the lives of our students and staff every single day. She consistently goes above and beyond to help create the positive, welcoming culture that makes East Jessamine Middle School such a special place to learn and grow.

Her hard work often happens behind the scenes, but the impact she makes is seen and felt throughout our entire building. We are incredibly grateful for all she does for our Jaguar family. 💚🐾

Congratulations, Marla, and thank you for being such an important part of EJMS! #ProudToRoar

Hello EJMS Families and Friends -

It's hard to believe, but this is our last weekly update for the 2025-2026 school year! In five days our 8th graders will be high schoolers and our 6th and 7th graders will move up a grade level. It's been great to share what's happening at our school and keep you in the know with our newsletter. We'd love to hear your feedback about this publication, please take a moment to fill out our Jaguar Weekly feedback form to share your thoughts as we get ready for next year. We've got some fun things in store for these last five days at EJMS with the EJHS House reveal for our 8th graders today, field day and family games night tomorrow, and an exciting final game of matball with our winning student team vs. faculty and staff on Monday. And without further adieu, here's the LAST edition of the EJMS Jaguar Weekly for this school year.

Hello EJMS Family and Friends - We hope all of the mothers and mother figures in our students' lives had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend! We begin state testing this week and are so excited for our students to show what they know and how much they've grown this year. This week also begins with the spring choir concert and ends with 8th grade recognition on Friday night. It's going to be a great week to be a Jaguar and we can't wait to see our students and their families around the building as we celebrate. Find out about all of that and more in this edition of our weekly newsletter.

Thanks to all of the parents and families who have shared their feedback about EJMS through the annual district survey. We really appreciate the feedback and use it when making decisions at both the school and district levels. Haven’t had a chance yet? There’s still time before the survey closes end of day tomorrow. We want to hear from you!
