Principal's Message
Greetings Jackson grownups!
I can hardly believe we are into our second semester of school! As I chat with teachers, I'm so impressed with the growth our students are making in their academic, emotional, and social areas of learning. Daily, a proud teacher shares a story regarding a student taking off with reading, writing an awesome paragraph, or engaging in high level discourse with peers. It's a pleasure to celebrate all the successes with our students, and we are thrilled for our next semester of learning and growth.
February is a busy month, full of celebrations and fun events. Our Right Brain residency started with a focus on dance and movement connected to our work around social emtional learning skills. Valentines Day is coming up, and this week we have our annual "Donuts with Grownups" event. See the messages below for more information. As always, please reach out with any questions you may have.
Kind regards,
Kasia Gutierrez

Valentine’s Day
Next week, classes are planning short celebrations connected to Valentines Day. Students are welcome to bring in Valentines Day cards for classmates, with the understanding they must bring one for all students in thier class. We are a non-edible treat school, but for this day, candy/treats can be attached to cards, but they will not be allowed to eat them at school. All edible treats will be sent home with students. For a class list of names, please reach out to your child's teacher.
