Dear Fellow JYMS Parent or Guardian.

In an effort to keep the parents and guardians involved and informed with what is happening at Jack Young Middle School we have created a Parent Support Group. We are working with teachers and administrators to build a group of parents and/or guardians who are dedicated to the specific needs of middle school students. They are in a very exciting time in their lives and even though they are looking for some independence it is still necessary to be involved. Parents also need a support system in order to successfully navigate through these years as well.

Creating a forum of open communication between parents, teachers and administrators is necessary for our middle school students to be successful. We are all busy and attending a meeting may not be possible. In an effort to keep everyone informed we would like your permission to receive your contact information for the purpose of contacting you as a possible volunteer in the area of time, service, and/or participation in various activities throughout the year. Please complete the contact info below and either send it to the school with the heading c/o Parents in the Middle or have your child drop it off at the side window tomorrow morning. Your contact information will allow the group to put you on a list to be recruited for volunteer opportunities, be invited to round table discussions and be informed about other upcoming events and fund-raising efforts. The support group is a separate entity working with school officials to expand opportunities for all of its students.

We are very excited about the creation of the JYMS Parent Support Group and we look forward to working with you in the future.

With warm regards,

Deborah Freed
