Attention JJHS Students!

It’s almost time for Spring MAP testing! Here’s what you need to know:

• Math MAP Test: Tuesday, April 29th

• Reading MAP Test: Tuesday, May 6th

• Spanish MAP Test: Friday, May 2nd (for Dual Language students only)

These tests help show how much you’ve grown since the fall in each subject. While you've taken other tests this year, this one gives us the clearest picture of your progress—and it helps us plan for your classes next year.

Do your best! Take your time, stay focused, and show what you know.

And don’t forget—bring your Chromebook fully charged on each testing day!

Denim Day April 30th

Patriots, a student, has been working hard to raise awareness of an important topic that isn’t talked about enough. Sexual assault. April is sexual assault awareness month, and you may have seen the posters and slides on the TVs. Every last Wednesday of April is known as denim day and people show support for survivors by wearing jeans, jean shorts, and jean jackets. Denim day comes from a court case in 1999 where a rape conviction was overturned by a supreme court that said because the victim was wearing tight jeans, she must have helped take them off. In protest to that, protesters showed up on the steps of the supreme court wearing jeans.

So if you want to show support to survivors on April 30th, please wear either jeans, jean shorts or jean jackets. We will also be handing out stickers in Jefferson square.
