Lake Cable Newsletter

For the 6th consecutive year, our school will celebrate Sandy Hook’s Hello Week. This will be during the week of September 18 - 22. Hello Week is a national campaign to celebrate kindness, connection, inclusion, empathy and belonging. Social isolation is a growing epidemic in the United States and within schools. Hello Week teaches students the skills they need to reach out and include others; creating a culture of connectedness within our school. Students will be given a HELLO WEEK challenge over the morning announcements and have discussions about the challenge with their teachers during the day.

Please see Hello week-themed days below!

Meet and Greet MONDAY - wear blue

Upstander TUESDAY - wear tie dye

Wear Green WEDNESDAY - wear green

Trusted Adult THURSDAY -wear a shirt with positive message

Moving Forward FRIDAY - wear purple

Ohio law requires school districts to complete a vision and hearing screening for all Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, and 5th grade students. These screenings are also performed for all new students to the district. Screenings will be performed starting in September through the end of the year.

Parents have the option to opt out of the screenings. If you would prefer that your child is not screened, please complete the vision and/or hearing waiver forms and return to the clinic as soon as possible. Any student who does not have a waiver on file will be screened. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the school clinic. Thank you!

We do not encourage students to bring cell phones, iPod’s, MP3’s, etc. to school. If a student does bring these items to school, they are not to be used once the student enters the building. These items should also then be turned off and stored in the student’s locker or book bag during the school day. If the student does not adhere to this policy the item will be confiscated.

Using an electronic device to take pictures or record audio on school property, school buses, or at school functions/events may result in immediate confiscation of the phone, and appropriate disciplinary action will be taken. Contents of electronic devices may be searched if reasonable suspicion exists that it may have been used in an activity prohibited by the Code of Conduct.

The Jackson Local School District believes in partnering with parents and providing them with resources to help navigate the world of technology, games, and social media. While advances in technology have many great rewards, there is also the potential for harm. Since December, we have provided a resource and hope more parents and students, as appropriate by age, will take advantage of this.

We have partnered with SmartSocial.com for its on-demand courses for parents and students. The SmartSocial resources cover a wide range of digital and social media topics. We are providing a parent subscription package to these resources to help you learn how to navigate the negative (and positive) parts of social media with your students.
