Student Drop-Off and Pick-Up
In order to help make drop-off and pick-up as smooth and safe as possible, please be aware of the procedures for student drop off and pick up and understand traffic patterns. Note that cars are not allowed in the bus lane at any time.
Student Drop Off: No student should be dropped off in the front (north parking lot) of Jasper before school. This includes extra-curricular activities at any time. All students should be dropped off in the circle drive or south student parking lot. In the morning, both lanes of the circle drive are drop off lanes. Please make sure your student is aware and watches for traffic in the car and bus lanes as they cross to the student entrance. If you are dropping off in the right drop off lane, closest to the building, please watch for students crossing in front of you.
Student Pick Up: All students should be picked up in the south circle drive or south parking lot. There should not be any student being picked up in the north parking lot; this includes tennis players and all fine arts students.
Specific Directions for Circle Drive: Please be aware that the right lane of the circle drive is for pick-up only. Cars may park along the curb and move forward as cars exit the pick-up lane. The left lane of the circle drive is not a pick-up lane and should be used for exiting the circle drive only. Please do not stop and block the left lane and do not allow your student to enter your vehicle while you are in the left lane. We ask that parents pull forward as cars exit the curb so that we can ease the backup on Archgate.
Specific Directions for the South Student Parking Lot: Parents are encouraged to utilize the south student parking lot for student pick up. There are certain traffic flow specifics everyone needs to adhere to. Please see the map below for specifics. No one should use the center lane at any point. This is a bus lane only.
Building Access for Students
The school day is from 9:00 am to 4:15 pm. We will open our doors for students at 8:00 am. We will have staff members on duty starting at this time to ensure student and campus safety. Students who arrive at this time will be able to sit and wait in the cafeteria. We will dismiss students to their first period class at 8:45 am. If a student needs to arrive to campus prior to 8:00 am, they may wait on the benches along the carpool lane. Students who arrive early for sports or clubs will be given guidance by their coach, director, or sponsor.
All students need to exit the building no later than 4:45 pm unless under the supervision of a staff member.
Student ID Badges
Per PISD policy, all students in grades 9-12 will be required to wear school identification (ID) cards while on school grounds, at after-school activities, and while aboard District school buses. Student IDs and lanyards will be distributed the week of school picture day. It is the expectation that ID cards are visible and worn around the neck on a lanyard. Consequences will be given for not wearing a student ID in the prescribed manner. Lost or damaged student ID cards will be replaced for a fee of $10. We appreciate your support and understanding as we continue to implement this safety & security initiative!
Drop-Off Table, Deliveries, and Federal Food Guidelines
We would like to make everyone aware that the drop-off table located at the Jasper front doors is an unsupervised area. Jasper's staff does not have the capacity to supervise the table or monitor items that become missing. We strongly suggest parents that want to bring food to their students wait and hand deliver the food to their student. If not, there are other options the student can utilize like bringing their lunch or purchasing a lunch from our school cafeteria.
In order to avoid disrupting classes, flowers, balloons, food, and gifts cannot be accepted during the school day (this includes UberEats, Grub Hub, Door Dash, etc.). All vendors will be turned away. No vendor should attempt to drop food off in the south student entry way. In addition, these items cannot be carried with the students to class. Personal messages are not delivered to students during the instructional day.
Per Federal Nutritional Guidelines, food that is brought to school cannot be shared with other students. Parents cannot bring extra drinks and food for anyone other than their student. This applies even on birthdays and special occasions.
Student Insurance
Student insurance is available for purchase through Markel Insurance Company. Parents may enroll students in the voluntary student accident insurance using the online enrollment process. Markel has dedicated a secure enrollment website at http://markel.sevencorners.com. Please see the documents below for additional details.
PTSA General Meeting & Mental Health Presentation
Join PTSA Today
Why join PTA? Since we don’t hold traditional fundraisers at Jasper, our membership dollars are key to supporting all the wonderful activities and services offered each year. Membership dollars help fund classroom educational supplies wish list items, student programs, teacher conference registrations, parent education programs, teacher appreciation luncheons, and special amenities throughout the building. This year, we would like to see 100% parent participation in membership. This may be a lofty goal, but everyone can benefit from being a PTA member.
