Give a Shout Out!

My family would like to thank Mr. Hall for reaching out to us to give us a better understanding of the “student succession plan” for our rising 7th grader. He was able to rectify a situation and get us back on track. We talked on the phone and when we asked to come in to speak with him face to face he was open and very accommodating.

Thank you for taking our request seriously and genuinely wanting to help us!

Mrs. Donaldson goes above and beyond and I am just so so grateful for her. Knowing that my daughter is supported in advocated for helps me know that she is taking care of that school and has the support she needs to be successful! I’ve been so grateful for the support staff that Claire has had through her JLMS journey.
She goes above and beyond and I know truly cares about her students. I hope she is able to be celebrated by everyone else as well!

Ms. Patton builds strong connections with her students and remains helpful even after they move on the following year. She is always open to helping students and invites former students for extra help to keep up their math motivation and understanding. Her students (and parents!) appreciate her dedication and care for all students! Thanks!

A special shout-out to Coach Schell for consistently going above and beyond in his roles as Instructional Trainer Coach and Assistant Testing Coordinator. He is always available to support teachers, students, and staff, providing guidance, troubleshooting technology issues, and ensuring that testing runs smoothly. His dedication, patience, and expertise help create positive learning experiences while making complex tasks easier for everyone. He proactively addresses challenges, offers meaningful support, and treats everyone with professionalism and respect. Our school community greatly benefits from his hard work, commitment, and unwavering willingness to help others succeed.

Ms. Kelley has inculcated a love of science in my daughter and an excitement that I haven’t seen before. Since my daughter started 6th grade, science is now her favorite subject. She talks about how engaging and fun the class is. Ms. Kelley integrates technology and hands on experiments that she really enjoys. Thank you Ms. Kelley!

H. Rasheed

I want to give a massive shout-out to Ms. dePrimo, my son Kellen’s teacher! She is absolute perfection – so wonderful, deeply supportive, and truly dedicated to her students. As a parent, knowing your child has someone in their corner who cares this much makes all the difference. Thank you, Ms. dePrimo, for everything you do for Kellen and the entire JLMS community!

A. Venohr

Parent of a Student

I would like to recognize Mr. Shaw for the exceptional support he has provided to my children, Antonio and Antonella, during their time at John Long Middle School.

He has always been incredibly helpful, responsive, and willing to go the extra mile to support our family. Whenever I have reached out with a question or concern, he has taken the time to listen, guide us, and help find the best possible solution for my children.

As a parent, it means so much to know that your children have someone at school who genuinely cares about their success and well-being. His kindness, patience, professionalism, and dedication have made a real difference for our family.

We are truly grateful for everything he has done for Antonio and Antonella. John Long Middle School is very fortunate to have him.

Mr. Josh is the G.O.A.T. he makes everyone’s day brighter and better, always with a smile and positive mood. He’s also the best Football assistant coach and role model for our students.

Mrs. Danon made me love math for once in my entire life. Thanks to her teaching style, I was able to learn math a lot more easily and efficiently. So far, she is the best math teacher I’ve had (and the best one that I’ll probably ever have for the rest of my academic life).
