DAILY SYMPTOM CHECKS HELP MITIGATE SPREAD
Students can easily transition to eLearning 2.0 on those days and not miss instruction. This is primarily why Jackson Local Schools designed its learning models to transition between in-person and eLearning 2.0. Students who come to school showing signs of illness will be sent home. If individuals present with two or more symptoms consistent with COVID-19, he/she will be presumed to have COVID-19 until such time as a health care provider determines the illness is caused by something else and provides a note. Without a health care provider note, the individual would need to stay home for 10 days and be fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication or receive a confirmed negative COVID-19 test. This decision tree is used by the district to help determine when students are sent home and when they can return.
We all have a role in mitigating the spread of COVID-19, and illness in general. The Jackson Local School District thanks parent, guardians, caregivers for helping us fight the spread of illness in our district.

SEE JACKSON SCHOOL FOR THE ARTS PERFORM "THE WIZARD OF OZ" FROM YOUR HOME
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the show is being taped and the performance can be viewed from the comforts of your home by purchasing a link to the show. In order to watch the performance, starring senior Emma Maier as Dorothy, go to the streaming site to see the show at 7 p.m. on November 5 and 7 or on November 8 at 2 p.m.
This is the first streaming broadcast of a JSA theatrical performance. There are not many schools in Ohio attempting a fall performance. Tickets are $13, with a $1.50 processing fee from the ticketing vendor for a total ticket cost of $14.50. Access to the streamed show is similar to the cost of a single ticket for regular musical admission. For questions regarding tickets, please call Lisa Ayres Surber at 330-830-8100, ext. 1011.
We appreciate all those who have purchased tickets already. Tickets sales for this show will be one of the Jackson School for the Arts primary fundraisers those school year. Not having the ability to have our normal sold-out live performances will be a large setback. While only one stream pass is needed to watch the production as a group, please consider choosing to purchase multiple tickets to cover an accurate count of those watching the stream or use the donate button to show your support with a monetary donation of your choice.
There are only 500 tickets available for each performance, so make sure you purchase your tickets as soon as possible!
