School Data

Discover this school

Our mission at James Lick Middle School is to support and nurture our students, encouraging them to challenge and overcome institutional limitations, realize their own potential, and achieve high expectations. Our students will be informed, active participants and conscientious leaders within their local and global communities. We offer a range of opportunities to prepare our students for the 21st Century. We have an exciting visual and performing arts program which includes art, dance, music (choral and rock), and leadership. Our students perform in our school assemblies, a musical, and local events. Our Spanish Immersion Program promotes bilingualism, biculturalism, and biliteracy. In addition, students enjoy trips to universities and grade level trips (ropes course, UFW, camping etc.) to develop a college-bound, future-oriented culture.

We stand firm in our commitment to support students' development of leadership skills so that they can make a positive impact on their local and global communities. Students can become involved and develop leadership skills through programs such as Student Council, Youth Outreach Workers, Safe School Ambassadors, and Peer Resources.. A diverse group of students have a voice in the school and provide community service by participating as Youth Outreach Workers, Safe School Ambassadors, Student Council members, SSC representatives, National Junior Honor Society participants, and conflict mediators. We believe that parents are critical partners in the education of our children. The school has a parent room which serves as a place where parents can come to meet other parents and participate in monthly Principal Chats. We have very active parent groups, and welcome many parent involvement and we're always looking for ways to increase parent participation from all our families. Our parent liaison is dedicated to providing parents with important information regarding school matters that impact our students and to serving as a link between school staff and parents.

Opportunities for Parental Involvement

Our school believes that parents are critical partners in the education of our children. The school has a parent room which serves as a place where parents can come to meet other parents and participate in monthly "Principal Chats". We have very active parent groups, including PTSA, ELAC, and SAC. There are many volunteer opportunities that provide access for parent involvement and we're always looking for ways to increase parent participation from all our families. Chaperoning school events and field trips, volunteering in the library, and helping with graduation festivities are some activities where parent help is always needed. Our parent liasion is dedicated to providing parents with important information regarding school matters that impact our students and to serving as a link between school staff and parents.
