Extensive research has shown that family engagement has a positive impact on student success. Here are just some of the benefits of you being actively involved in your child's education at the elementary level:

1. Improved academic achievement
2. Decreased behavioral issues
3. Improved parent-teacher relationships
4. Improved teacher-student relationships
5. Improved school environment
6. Lower drop out rates when they are in high school
7. More likely to graduate on time

The first step to family engagement is getting involved with your child's education/school. One great way to get involved is to attend PTO meetings. This is a simple way to meet other parents, share input regarding upcoming events, and keep up to date with what's going on at Jackson.

Safety is a top priority at Jackson Elementary. In order to ensure all of our staff and students are safe, each month we practice a safety drill.

Thank you for your partnership in keeping our students and staff safe. If you have any questions, please give Mrs. Beatty a call, 920-663-9522.

Testing can be stressful for some students, and it is our goal to prepare students in order to lessen their text anxiety. Here are a few resources families can utilize in order to help prepare their student and reduce any anxiety or stress around the exam.

Make Learning a Priority

Manitowoc Elementary Schools– To encourage more families to take advantage of the healthy choices available with school breakfast, Manitowoc elementary schools will celebrate National School Breakfast Week (NSBW) during March 6-10, 2023. The NSBW campaign theme, “DIG IN to School Breakfast,” reminds the entire school community that healthy breakfast options available at school provide an energizing start to the day for students.

U.S. Department of Agriculture data show that more and more students are starting their day with a nutritious breakfast in their school cafeterias. The School Breakfast Program serves more than 14 million students every day.

About National School Breakfast Week-National School Breakfast Week was launched in 1989 to raise awareness of the availability of the School Breakfast Program, a federally assisted meal program operating in public and non-profit private schools and residential childcare institutions since 1975.

Busy weekday mornings make it a challenge for many families to find time for a healthy breakfast. Fortunately, Manitowoc schools offer nutritious school breakfasts, complete with fruit and low-fat or fat-free milk, to ensure students are fueled for learning every school day.

Studies show that students who eat school breakfast are more likely to:

• Reach higher levels of achievement in reading and math
• Score higher on standardized tests
  
• Have better concentration and memory
  
• Be more alert
  
• Maintain a healthy weight
  

School nutrition professionals and students will be encouraged to show their enthusiasm for school breakfast from March 6-10 as the district celebrates NSBW with special menus, activities, and more. Our goal is to promote healthy meals & engage students by promoting nutritious and delicious school breakfast program. We will engage students through themed activities to increase school breakfast participation.

• When a student chooses to participate in our breakfast in the classroom program, they will be able to take a prize too! We will include the prize items in the breakfast bins that are delivered to the classrooms each morning of the NSBW campaign.
