JR Gerritts Middle School Welcome to J.R. Gerritts Middle School, home of the Gators. Come join us

Our most important focus is learning, as we build the academic bridge that will lead to success in high school and beyond. In the process, we focus on building leadership and the other social and emotional skills our students will need to be successful in the 21st century. Finally, JRG is a school that understands that learning is fun, and that school also provides an opportunity to laugh with and enjoy life while engaging in the many learning activities we have to offer. Our teachers go above and beyond to provide the best possible learning experience for our students, and our students consistently meet and exceed expectations as learners and as young people of character.

Help Us Keep Drop-Off Safe and Smooth!

A friendly reminder to our JRG families: The stadium parking lot is for buses only. Vehicle drop-off and pickup are not permitted in the stadium lot.

We know mornings can be busy, and we all want to get where we need to go! Using the stadium lot as a shortcut to get around morning traffic can create safety concerns and disrupt our drop-off procedures.

Please help us keep everyone safe by using the designated drop-zone areas and following our established traffic patterns.

📍 Not sure where to go? Please take a moment to review our Drop Zone Location Flyer. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vYHOcdZjZA3rEyMna7XaXX4QV2jsbNOq/view?usp=sharing

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep mornings safe and running smoothly for all our Gators!

Leah Dobrinska, KHS class of 2007, published author of small-town romance and cozy mystery novels, came to share her writing expertise with JRG 8th-grade authors on October 6th. Students have been studying a novel in a genre of their choosing to learn how to write in that genre. Dobrinska walked students through her writing process, showed how different genres typically follow different structures, led students through preliminary story brainstorming, and finally shared her top-secret writing advice. Thank you, Leah, for sharing your knowledge with our aspiring authors!

Miles That Matter was a Huge Success!

What an incredible afternoon at our PromiseMakers Miles That Matter Run/Walk Family Event!

Our Gators showed up, got moving, and celebrated their commitment to making healthy, positive choices. We are so proud of everyone who participated and helped make the event such a great success!

580 JRG students have already pledged to be PromiseMakers!

But we’re not done yet! Our goal is to have 100% of our students make the PromiseMakers pledge.

🎯 Only 165 more students to go!

Let’s finish strong, Gators! Every pledge represents a commitment to living to***co-, alcohol-, and drug-free and making choices that support a healthy future.

Thank you to our students, families, staff, and everyone who helped make Miles That Matter such a memorable event!

580 down. 165 to go. Let’s reach 100%!
