Letter for our Principal
Dear Jacobson Community,
Thank you for your continued support of our beautiful community school. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve you, your students, and your family. Our success as a premier Elementary School in the East Valley, can only come with YOUR support.
As we approach the fifth week of school I'd like to thank all of you for being a part of our successful Curriculum Nights and taking the time to visit with our teacher teams. We are excited to work with all of you to create a positive elementary experience for our students. Coming up we have school pictures on September 14, 2022.
Finally, our Student Conferences will be August 24th and 25th with an early dismissal time of 11:30 A.M. on both days. You will be notified of availability for conference appointments coming up next week. This is an important time where our experienced, certified teachers share with you how your child is progressing both academically and as a member of their learning community. We look forward to seeing you soon. Please note this is also a good time to check grades on Infinite Campus.
This is going to be the best school year yet! We hope you have a restful weekend with friends and family.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Wolf

Welcome back to Lunch with your student!
Starting in October, when the weather is cooler, Fridays will be days that families can come have lunch with their child, if they wish. Many of our families are excited to come to campus to eat with their child once again. We are happy to offer this to our community once again. School lunch lasts 40 minutes for each grade level and our students eat the first 20 minutes. The following is when each of our classes have lunch! Feel free to have lunch with your child in the designated family-section in the east courtyard on picnic tables. Parents will not eat with their child’s class, inside. A shady picnic area will be provided for each family!
- Kindergarten: 10:50-11:10
- Fifth grade: 11:05-11:25
- First grade: 11:20-11:40
- Fourth grade: 11:35-11:55
- JGP: 11:35-11:55
- 2nd grade: 11:50-12:10
- Third grade: 12:05-12:25
- Sixth grade: 12:30-12:50
Lunch-On-the-Lawn is BACK!!!
We are excited to host our wonderful families to picnic with their child for Lunch on the Lawn. Lunch on the Lawn is a dedicated day where students eat picnic style in our courtyards and families may come to eat with their child. Most families bring lunch for their child IF they are attending, as we only have 20 minutes to eat and then 20 minutes for recess. We also will have the Bogle Jazz Band playing for our enjoyment and they are amazing! Our first Lunch on the Lawn is:
