Jordan/Jackson News You Can Use
September 10, 2022
Principal's Note
Dear Families,
We had a great opening week at Jordan/Jackson! It is always a special time for us to welcome returning and new students to our school.
We hope that you find this newsletter a valuable source of information throughout the year. The weekly editions will highlight how the curriculum and instruction "comes to life", like the photos from our Learning/Community Garden at the end of this edition.
You will also find notifications of upcoming school events, helpful reminders, MESA updates and other district-wide information.
In addition, we will publish special editions with a central focus on topics such as: online safety and peer relations.
Below you will find some links to help support your children as they transition back to school.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
