The latest happenings at Jackson Elementary
Week of December 11, 2017
We are excited to officially be in our new main office and administrative area! If you haven’t had an opportunity to come by and see our new space, please stop by next time you are at the school.
Please note that the main entrance to the school is now the doors on the east side of the building (adjacent to the bus lane). Parents needing to check a student in or out will need to come in through the main office doors.
At morning drop off, students may use the doors on the east side of the building to enter by the cafeteria or may enter through the door on the NW corner of the building (the doors that we have been to go into the school using until now.) Once the bell rings at 7:50am, all doors to the school will be locked, except for the main entrance doors on the east side. Afternoon dismissal procedures will remain the same.
Thank you so much for your patience during the construction process over the last few years and we hope that you will agree that the new safety and security provided by the new space were well worth the wait!
