Jackson Students Reach out to others!
Jackson students are finding all kinds of ways to reach out and help others. In December, several students delivered three large bags of collected items to residents of Wexford House. They also sang carols and spread some Jackson holiday cheer! Stay tuned for more opportunities for your student to help others.

A Message from Our Principal - Set Goals!
Jackson Families,
Welcome to the second half of the school year! We have now been in school for 89 days and have only 89 days remaining. We look forward to an amazing 2017.
Goal setting is often a traditional part of starting a new year. This is a wonderful opportunity for your family to set goals. The Importance of Goals Research has shown that the simple act of writing a goal greatly increases the chances of accomplishing the goal. If the goal is broken down into action steps and the action steps are tracked, goals have an even greater percentage of success. Create goals such as reading together, eating dinner at the table, or doing an activity together. Involve everyone in the family in choosing a meaningful goal and action steps. Post the goal and the action steps in a visible place and be sure to track and celebrate progress!
Please let us know if you need anything! Our school number is 378-2250.
Sincerely,
Dr. Turner
Mr. Case
