West Jessamine Middle School

From the halls of the Smithsonian, to the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, Colts are taking over the capital. 20,000 steps in and we are just getting started 🇺🇸🦅

While the rest of the 8th grade crew is busy navigating the capital, these students are busy navigating the pancake bar! We like our school days with a side of syrup. 🥞😋 #Students #Pancakes #Syrup #Schooldays

Stephanie Stefanic from the Kentucky Poultry Federation came to my 8th and 7th grade FACS classes to discuss egg basics, egg production, used, and taught students how to make dressed eggs.

📈 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!
