Drop-Off Table, Third Party Vendor Deliveries, and Federal Food Guidelines
We would like to make everyone aware that the drop-off table located at the Jasper front doors is an unsupervised area. Jasper's staff does not have the capacity to supervise the table or monitor items that become missing. We strongly suggest parents that want to bring food up to their students wait and hand deliver the food to their student. If not, there are other options the student can utilize like bringing their lunch or purchasing a lunch from our school cafeteria.
We also would like to remind everyone that third party delivery of food is not permitted. All vendors will be turned away. No vendor should attempt to drop food off in the south student entry way.
Per the Federal Nutritional Guidelines, food that is brought to school cannot be shared with other students. Parents cannot bring extra drinks and food for anyone other than their student. This applies even on birthdays and special occasions.

PTSA/ Jasper Booster Club Announcements:
Jasper Band Boosters Presents....Princeton Review Practice Test
Better Scores = Better Colleges! Thinking about taking the SAT or ACT? Don't practice on the real thing! The Jasper Band Boosters and Princeton Review are sponsoring practice SAT, ACT, and PSAT tests at Jasper High School on Saturday, February 9th. The tests are open to all students. Testing will begin at 8:30 am. Students are encouraged to arrive 10-15 minutes in advance.
The SAT and ACT generally test the same types of content and both are used for college admissions and merit-based scholarships. The biggest differences between the tests are that the ACT has a Science Test and there’s one SAT Math Section for which you cannot use a calculator.
The costs and time for the practice tests are as follows:
Practice SAT: $15.00
8:30 am - 1:00 pm
Practice ACT: $15.00
8:30 am - 12:30 pm
Practice PSAT - $10
8:30am - 11:30 am
*This test is grade-appropriate for 8th and 9th grade students and establishes a baseline measurement for students as they enter high school.
Online registration is now open at https://jasperband.membershiptoolkit.com/home. Registration deadline is Wednesday, February 6th. This is a fantastic opportunity for students that want that extra edge before the test.
Registered students are encouraged to attend the Test Review Session on Tuesday, February 19th, from 6:30-8:30 pm to receive feedback on the test.
Print and Toner Cartridge Recycling Initiative
We are pleased to announce that Jasper High School now has bins to collect empty print and toner cartridges. The bins are located in the library and the front office. Students, staff, and parents are encouraged to bring any brand of empty print cartridges from home and dispose of them in these bins. Let's do our part to keep ink and toner cartridges out of our landfills!

We encourage all of our families to join our PTSA by going to JasperPTSA. This website allows parents and students to join the Jasper PTSA , purchase spirit wear and planners, access student directory, sign-up to volunteer at events, and make donations to the Jasper PTSA.
