Dear parents and guardians,
Happy Saturday Patriots! We had a great week coming back from Spring Break. The fourth quarter is up and running. This is a busy quarter, patriots! We have a lot of activities, testing, and field trips. Let’s finish strong! We also have some math boot camps that started today. Some of you received invitations from your math teacher. We have four more in the month of April/May, the next one is on April 11 from 0930-1230. We do provide lunch as well. Please reach out to your cadets’ math teacher if you are interested.
JSMAL Swag - Every Friday cadets are allowed to wear any JSMAL shirt to school with their uniform pants/shoes/belt/Jacket. Some of your cadets do not play sports, so here is an option for you if you want to get JSMAL gear to wear on Fridays.

8th graders – Promotion dues are $40 and must be paid via schoolcashonline.com.
We are excited to announce our partners have provided four additional dates to do FREE ECG screenings for our student athletes. This is a great opportunity to get your 8th graders scheduled for this new requirement by the state of Florida. This is extremely important for the health of our student athletes and will be required by state law for all incoming freshman on the high school level. These school-based screenings are important to help prepare our students for high school sports. Our date will be April 14 from 1:30 – 3:15pm here at JSMAL.
