Journey Families,

What an incredible year it has been at Journey Middle School! As we finish the 2025-2026 school year, I want to personally thank each of you for the encouragement, trust, and support you have shown our school community. Because of our partnership, our students have continued to learn, grow, and accomplish amazing things both inside and outside of the classroom.

This school year brought many moments worth celebrating. From academic achievements to athletic success, fine arts performances, leadership opportunities, and everyday acts of kindness, our students represented Journey with pride. Watching them mature, overcome challenges, and support one another has been one of the greatest joys of this year.

As summer begins, I hope our students take time to relax, have fun, and make meaningful memories with family and friends. I also encourage them to continue reading, exploring new interests, and finding ways to stay curious and engaged throughout the break.

To our 8th graders, congratulations as you prepare for high school. You are leaving Journey with experiences, friendships, and lessons that will continue to shape your future. We are proud of you and excited to see all that you accomplish in the years ahead.

For our returning students, we cannot wait to welcome you back in August for another exciting year at Journey Middle School. To the students and families joining Journey for the first time next school year, welcome to the JAG family! We are excited to meet you and look forward to helping you feel connected, supported, and successful from day one.

Thank you again for a wonderful school year. Have a safe, restful, and enjoyable summer!

Go JAGS! 

With love and gratitude,

Treva Stewart

Principal, Journey Middle School

If you are not familiar with the parent portal, it is an online portal accessible anywhere on the web that parents can log in to and see all of your children's information on one place. In addition to returning student re-enrollment, you are also able to see their grades, assignments, scores, attendance, schedules, and school bulletins for each school your children attends.

Student schedules will be available via PowerSchool accounts at the end of July. We will send an email when schedules are available. Students may print their schedule matrix directly from PowerSchool, take a photo of their schedule matrix, or download the PowerSchool app on their devices to easily access their schedule throughout the year. This will be helpful for rising 6th grade and new student self-guided New Student Building Tours on the first day of school.
