Principal's Message
Greetings Jackson grownups!
Our Jaguars have had a fun few weeks of the second semester! Students are setting personal learning goals to finish the year strong, our Right Brain residency focused on Social and Emotional learning is in full swing, and Valentines day art was on display all around the building. With the new semester, it's a great time to talk with your student about thier goals, and what they are enjoying learning about. If you haven't already, signing up for Parentvue is a great idea to stay up to date with recent assignment grades. Also, for our students in the upper grades, Google Classroom is used consistently, so its a great resource to look at with your child, to understand what they are learning.
Read below for some upcoming family events, as we are thrilled to host you on site. Also below you will find book ideas to support our social emotional learning competency of the month; self-awareness. As always, please reach out with any questions, and have a fabulous week.
Kind regards,
Kasia Gutierrez

- Bring a small craft or activity
Is your culture not represented? We would love for you to set up a small display in the hallway! Please reach out to your classroom teacher if you would like to contribute, or email Jennifer at president@jacksonschoolpta.com to be connected.
