Principal Message
Dear Jackson Grownups,
I hope you enjoyed the glorious weather this weekend! Below, I have linked two Hillsboro School District surveys. The purpose of the following surveys is to gather stakeholder feedback on the experience of Comprehensive Distance Learning to help us plan for our Fall 2021. The survey will take about 10 minutes per audience group. Bilingual directions and communication are located on page one for each survey. We are asking for all survey feedback by Thursday April 22nd. Here are the links:
As a heads up, we are still required to do monthly fire drills while in hybrid. Since we have kids in a hybrid model, we will do two drills next week. That means our K-2 in-person students will participate in two drills. Please discuss this with your child if they are uncomfortable with loud noises. Here is the schedule:
Monday/Tuesday- Grade level practice- Students will practice a drill with grade level cohorts, so they know where to line up. We will not pull the alarms for practice drills.
Thursday- Cohort A and all K-2 - The alarm will be pulled.
Friday- Cohort B and all K-2- The alarm will be pulled.
Kind regards,
Principal Kasia Gutierrez

Student Arrival and Dismissal Reminders
At Jackson, we can not provide outside adult supervision before 8AM. We have experienced families dropping off students between 7:45-7:50. Please wait the extra 10-15 minutes to bring your child to school, as we do not want them waiting outside on their own.
Also, dismissal time for students is 12:25 PM. Please do not go beyond our gates or into the recess area before 12:20. Recess is still going at this point, and we need to ensure all students are accounted for before we let adults on the grounds. Thank you!
ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ON EARTH DAY
Thursday, Apr. 22, is Earth Day! You can show your support by using active transportation to leave a lighter footprint on the planet. Active transportation includes walking, biking, public transportation/school buses, rollerblading, skateboarding, and more! Walk or roll somewhere you normally drive.
Meals for CDL Students @ Jackson
For families who have chosen to stay in CDL, you have the option to request 5 day meal packs from nutrition services. Below is the link to the form you will need to fill in, to request your meal pack. At this time, the only option is to request the full 5 days. In addition, forms for these meal packs need to be turned in WEEKLY by Friday at 8AM, to pick up your pack on Thursday or Friday of the next week. The pick up times @ Jackson for these meal packs with be Thursdays and Fridays, between 9:30-12:30, at the kitchen door (adjacent to the undercover play area). Questions? Please reach out to Priscilla Denning at denningp@hsd.k12.or.us.
(The above request form closes Fridays at 8AM and reopens Monday mornings)
PTA News
Hello Jackson parents,
The Jackson Elementary School PTA would like to compile letters from students letting the teachers know how awesome they are and how we appreciate all the work they do every year, and especially this year. The PTA will be printing off all the letters we receive, making a booklet, and giving to the teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week this year, May 3rd-7th.
Parents if you would like to add your own letter or note that would be wonderful and we will add it to their booklets.
Attached is a template or create your own poem, sonnet, incorporate a drawing, whatever you would like to do to show them how much we appreciate all their hard work. Please make sure it is on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper to fit into the printed booklets.
Return by: Monday April 26rd
