School Policies

Welcome Falcon Families! Thank you for being part of the John Muir Middle School community. Together, we are committed to creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where all students can learn, grow, and succeed.
 

John Muir Middle School Policies and Procedures

English | Spanish

The policies and procedures outlined in the school handbook (linked above) are specific to John Muir Middle School and are intended to supplement, not replace, San José Unified School District policies. This handbook highlights many of our school's expectations and procedures but does not contain every school rule or procedure. Additional policies or procedures may be implemented or revised to support student success at John Muir. Any changes will be communicated to families in the weekly Falcon Forecast. 

SOAR Expectations

At John Muir, our Falcons SOAR with Safety, Organization, Achieving Goals, and Respect. These core values guide our actions, shape our school culture, and support student success.
