Messages from the Jackson PTA
NO HASSLE FUNDRAISING!
No selling, no Buying, NO HASSLE Fundraiser for the 2022-2023 School Year! While we'd love for you to join us at our in-person events, purchase spirit wear and join us for dine and donates, we know sometimes fundraising just isn't in the cards for your family! The suggested donation is $40 per student, but if you're feeling generous OR that's just more than your family can do right now, an open donation is more than appreciated! Click here to access this no hassle fundraising opportunity for supporting our Jackson students.

Jackson Daily Announcements
PowerSchool Parent Portal
PowerSchool is a proactive communication tool parents/guardians can use to stay informed about their child’s academic and work habits progress in school. Please click on this PowerSchool Parent/Guardian Quick Guide link for more information about how to navigate the PowerSchool portal. There is a mobile app version of the PowerSchool Portal for families. The interface of the mobile app is slightly different from the web version. If you experience any difficulties accessing PowerSchool, please email Mrs. Aparicio, the Jackson secretary who oversees PowerSchool. Her email address is vaparicio@d45.org.
Attendance
A friendly reminder that it is the responsibility of a parent/guardian to contact Jackson in the event his/her child will be absent from school. Please plan to report your child’s absence, prior to 9:00 a.m., by calling our attendance line at (630) 516-7368. Parents/guardians will leave a voicemail reporting their child’s absence. In the voicemail, please include the following information:
Child’s name and grade level
Date of absence
Reason for absence
Student absenteeism should be kept to the minimum; however, the School Board recognizes that some absences are unavoidable. The following are valid causes for a student's absence and will be considered “excused,” as specified in Section 26-2a of the Illinois School Code:
Illness
Observation of a religious holiday
Death in the immediate family
Family emergency
Other situations approved by the school principal
