The 2021-2022 school year has gotten off to a great start! Our students were so excited to see their teachers, reconnect with friends from last year, and start making new friends this year! The first few days were spent getting to know each other, grade level expectations and daily routine. Our Jackson Jaguars are ready to rock!!
Since Jackson's in-person, grade level parent information nights were cancelled, you should have received a slideshow from your student's teacher with information for you to view at your convenience. If you did not receive this information, please contact your child's teacher.
Referrals for the PACE program at Jackson are due by Friday, 9/10, at 5:00 p.m. Please see referral and assessment information below.
To help us better plan for the interests and needs of our Jackson community, please take a few moments to provide feedback by taking the Parent/Family Interest survey below. This survey is in English and Spanish. Your input is valued!
Last but not least, our Principal, Mrs. Roach, has a few notes to share with our families. Please take a few moments to read her tips for a smoother school day!
Thanks,
Kamili Carthledge, Assistant Principal
