Welcome to JWMHS for the 2024-2025 school year and Open House/Orientation Day! We hope that you have a great year! Today you should become familiar with the school campus, and meet teachers, counselors, and administrators. If you have not paid school fees, bought your yearbooks, rented lockers, made donations, purchased MUSTANG gear, and gotten your schedule, please make sure you go on myStudent and do so now. Please also complete all of the forms that parents/guardians need to complete. On each teacher’s door there will be a QR Code that will lead to a website that includes a Welcome Video from the teacher and the Class Supply List. After you have found all of your classes, you have completed the on-campus visit.

NEED HELP?

  • Ask a NJROTC cadet if you need help navigating campus.
  • We will have staff available to help you pay fees, make donations, purchase MUSTANG gear, and answer any questions you may have in the gym.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Schedules: Login and look at myStudent under the class schedule tab. It will show the Room Numbers if you scroll right to see them. Of note, the myStudent app does not show this information.
  • Lockers: If you are renting a locker this year, we will assign and distribute them during the first two weeks of school. You can pay for them now and show your receipt when you go to choose your locker.
  • PE Lockers: If you are renting a locker this year, we will assign and distribute them during the first two weeks of school via the PE teacher. You can pay for them now and show your receipt when you go to choose your locker with your PE teacher.
  • Schedule Changes: We have put a form online where students and parents/guardians can request a schedule change (https://tinyurl.com/JWMHSScheduleChange). Of note, we do not have space in classes to change classes. We have done our best scheduling students. If you put in a request and on the first day of school a change was not made, we were not able to make the change. Please visit our website for more information on under what circumstances we change schedules (https://jwmhs.pasco.k12.fl.us/schedulechange/).
  • Senior Pictures: Please make sure that you contact Gigante Productions to take your Senior Picture so that you will be included in our award-winning Stampede Yearbook. (813) 907-1078 is the contact number and www.giganteproductions.com is the website.
  • Busses: Check your child’s bus pass. Review your child’s bus information by clicking “Child Info”. Then scroll down to “transportation routes” to verify it is correct. If your child’s bus information is incorrect, call the Transportation Office at (813) 320-2562.
  • Student Parking: Paying for a parking space does not guarantee that you will be assigned a parking space. There is an application process that must be followed on our website. Students MUST have a parking tag to park on campus and every student is assigned their own spot. Enforcement will begin on the first day of school. Make sure that you check myStudent for your parking spot number.
  • Yearbooks: This is the LOWEST price of the year for our award-winning Stampede Yearbook, $80 through the month of August.
  • School Supplies: Each teacher will have his or her own supply lists. However, go to our website and you can see general school supplies that students will need to be successful.

What do fees cover or where do donations go? – Here is an explanation of some of the fees that are often asked about by parents.

  • 24-25 Mustang Excellence Donation: This fee will go to the general donations to JWMHS so that the school’s priorities can be met. Making this donation means that you will also receive a limited-edition Mustang Stampede Student Shirt. This shirt design is unique to each school year.
  • 24-25 Faculty & Staff Appreciation Donation: This fee will go to providing incentives for teachers and staff including meals during Teacher Appreciation Week hosted by our School Advisory Council. Making this donation means that you will also receive Mustang Gear!
  • Class Fees: The Class Fee covers basic expenses that the Class may incur during the school year, including Homecoming, MustangU, and other activities.
  • PHSC/eSchool Fee: This fee covers the textbook and online tools that students use when they are taking a PHSC or Pasco eSchool class.
  • Graduation Fees for the Class of 2025: The Graduation Fee is the fee paid by our Seniors to cover the graduation costs (cap and gown, medallion, diploma, diploma cover, graduation program, and venue).
  • Security Fees: Security Fees help offset costs associated with safety including coverage at events and any materials needed to display expectations and rules.
  • Technology Fee: This covers the technology and applications that we use as a school to support instruction and keep new digital tools in students’ hands.

FINAL THOUGHTS

As a reminder, schedules may change before the first day of school. Please review your schedule online on Monday, August 12th before going to RANCH/2nd Period (which will be held first for the first two days of school).

We are only able to change schedules for the following reasons:

  • You are a senior missing a graduation requirement.
  • You have a missing period/hole in your schedule.
  • You have already taken a class that is on your schedule.
