Student Life at JTM

We are a middle school with a true sense of community. Our students serve in our school, but also provide service to the community as they fill their annual service requirements. Our families bond together through service to each other and our community. Some of our favorite activities are Beautification Day, Parent Coffees, Spaghetti Supper, and Motown. We work hard and have fun serving each other!

We offer excellent options in all three A’s; academics, arts, and athletics. Middle school is the perfect time to develop new skills. Our students are encouraged to try new things, succeed or fail, and feel the love and support of their peers, teachers, and administration. We offer many after school clubs that allow our students to broaden their experiences.

We are an inclusive school. Our middle school welcomes every child as they are and each of our graduates enters high school stronger and more confident as a result.

Dress Code

It is the intent of JT Moore to provide an environment that is safe and comfortable for all students. Students are free to maintain their personal expression without fear of unnecessary shaming or disciplinary action. However, to maintain a safe, respectful, and orderly environment, the following guidelines must be followed:

Students must wear hard bottom shoes that completely cover the foot at all times to protect against injury from people or inanimate objects.
Students must wear shirts that do not expose the chest, back, shoulders, or stomach.
Students must wear pants/shorts/skirts/dresses that do not expose undergarments, buttocks, or other private areas.
Students may not wear clothing, accessories and/or jewelry that promotes violence, drugs, alcohol, sex, degradation or discrimination of any kind.
Hats and caps cannot be worn at school. Hooded sweatshirts are acceptable, but hoods cannot be placed over the head.
Bandanas are not permitted on school property at any time.

When a suspension occurs, student will be required to wear khaki pants and a solid color collared shirt the remainder of the school year. It is the responsibility of the parent to clothe their child if the child loses their dress code privileges. A student can lose their dress code freedoms at any point in the school year. Thus, we ask that parents monitor the dress of their children each day to ensure that their children are following these dress code guidelines.
