West Jessamine Middle School

We're incredibly proud of our Colts for their amazing iReady Growth! They've put in the work, and the results are truly impressive. 🐎📚 #Colts #Growth #Results

The competition was heating up, but these students stayed cool! 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 A massive shoutout to Mrs. Cobb’s class at West Middle for an epic Cupcake Wars. From creative flavors to stunning decorations, you all knocked it out of the park! 🏆✨ #CupcakeWars #WestMiddlePride #FutureChefs

📈 Spring Results Are In: Growth is Trending!
The results of our i-Ready Spring diagnostic are officially here, and the data tells a powerful story of hard work and persistence.

We are incredibly proud to share that we’ve achieved growth in all grade levels for both Reading and Math! Not only are our students reaching new heights, but we have also seen a significant reduction in Novice levels across the board.

Check out the highlights below:

Universal Growth: Every single grade level showed improved scale scores in Reading and Math since the Winter diagnostic.

Closing the Gap: Our "Novice" numbers are shrinking, meaning more students are moving toward proficiency than ever before.

The Power of Practice: This success is a direct result of our students' daily focus and our teachers' data-driven instruction.

Please join us in congratulating our 8th grade students chosen for the 2026 Rogers Explorer Program- Cora Kelly, Allie McGinnis, Liv Srour, and Lynley White! The Rogers Explorers program is an intensive program focused on cultivating skills in leadership, technology, math, science, and community service. We are so proud of our students selected for this prestigious program!

Calling all dancers! 💃 Come be part of the spirit, the passion, and the team. Tryouts are next week! Make sure to have a sports physical! Contact Coach Pinney with questions!

A sea of color in the halls this week! It's the final day of Sources of Strength week, and we're celebrating the fact that we all have different ways of staying strong. Whether you're leaning on family, positive friends, mentors, healthy activities, generosity, spirituality, physical health, or mental health, there is a color for everyone! 💪

Today's color palette: Spirituality & Generosity. 💜🩶 Whether you're wearing purple to focus on your why or gray to show some love to those around you, today is all about the power of connection. Let's keep this energy going tomorrow by wearing our favorite colors!

Today our students stepped into the real world at the Reality Store! With careers, salaries, and family situations, they had to make real-life budgeting decisions. It was a fun and eye-opening way to learn about financial responsibility and planning for the future! 💸

For Sources of Strength week, our Colts wore blue 💙 and turquoise 🩵 today to celebrate physical health and healthy activities! Wear purple or gray tomorrow!
