🥧📚 Professional Development with a Side of Pie! 🥧🦅
Who says professional learning can’t be delicious? On early-release Wednesday, our JBHS staff spent time learning, collaborating, and, of course, enjoying a little friendly competition at our staff pie-baking contest!
Congratulations to our pie champions! 🏆🥧

Join us in celebrating this week's TCPalm Teacher of the Week nominee, Ms. Lauren Mezzanotte of Jensen Beach High School!
What her nominator shared: "Ms. Mezzanotte is a caring, wonderful environment and marine science teacher who inspires all her kids to do well. She is a teacher who wants the class to be a learning environment. She does stuff hands on and makes sure every kid understands before she moves on. She is the best teacher to have. I highly recommend her as a teacher, she inspires me every day."
Ms. Mezzanotte brings that passion to life through hands-on science experiences, from squid dissections and shark specimen studies to exploring Florida’s ecosystems. Her commitment to conservation education has even helped bring the Guy Harvey Conservation School designation to Jensen Beach High School, contributing to our District becoming a Guy Harvey Conservation District this summer! 🐢🌿

📣 Falcon Families: PSAT Testing Is October 21! 🦅
What is the PSAT and why does it matter?
📚 What is the PSAT?
The PSAT/NMSQT is a standardized test that measures skills in reading, writing, and math. It helps students practice for the SAT, understand their academic strengths, and prepare for future college and career opportunities.
🎯 Why take it?
The PSAT gives students valuable testing experience and insight into areas where they can continue to grow. For eligible juniors, it can also open the door to national scholarship recognition. And it's FREE!
🏅 What is National Merit Scholarship Qualification?
Juniors who take the PSAT/NMSQT may qualify for recognition through the National Merit Scholarship Program based on their scores and program eligibility requirements. Students who qualify may advance through the competition for recognition and potential college scholarships. Not every student who takes the PSAT qualifies, but for juniors pursuing this opportunity, the test is an important first step.
🗓️ Who will test on October 21?
All 10th-grade students
11th-grade students seeking National Merit Scholarship qualification
⏰ Important: JBHS will follow a Testing Bell Schedule on Wednesday, October 21.
Let's encourage our Falcons to come prepared, do their best, and take advantage of the opportunities ahead!

🧱BUILDING SKILLS FOR THE FUTURE🧱
Students from Martin County High School, Jensen Beach High School, and South Fork High School got hands-on experience pouring concrete alongside our very own Maintenance team! The project? Creating base weights for an outdoor volleyball set at one of our schools. 🏐
This is what preparing our future looks like: learning real-world skills, gaining experience and seeing firsthand what’s possible beyond the classroom. Our students aren’t just learning about careers; they’re learning directly from the people doing the work and making a difference around our District.
By sharing their skills and experience, our Maintenance team is helping students discover new possibilities for their future. That’s what it means to invest in our students today and prepare them for what comes next.

🎓 Big dreams, big conversations, and lots of possibilities!
JBHS hosted a fantastic College Fair today, with nearly 50 colleges and universities from across the country filling our cafeteria and connecting with our students! 🌎✨
Nearly 400 Juniors and Seniors stopped by to explore their options, ask questions, and start thinking about what comes next. And we loved seeing students head back to class excitedly talking about the schools that caught their attention—including some new colleges they hadn’t considered before!
A big thank-you to all of the college representatives who spent the day with our Falcons and helped our students see just how many paths are waiting for them.
The future is out there, Falcons. Go find your fit! 🎓
