Celebrating our 85+ year legacy
The James Lick Middle School community works passionately to provide all students the relevant experiences necessary to fully develop their true selves and to prepare them academically and socially for whatever challenges lay ahead. JLMS students use their strengths, critical thinking, and problem solving skills to become successful agents of change within their diverse communities.
ParentVUE (for parents) and StudentVUE (for students) can be used to view grades, assignments, attendance, and teacher contact information. See Family Liaison Osvaldo Ortiz for more information.
