Please help us ensure that your child's cell phone and/or digital watch is turned off and safely inside your child's backpack before they enter school. These devices are not permitted outside your child's backpack in the building during school hours per Texas State Law. Thank you for your support.

Background Checks

• REQUIRED of all parents and needs to be completed every 12 months; link is found on the “Parent” tab of the PISD website under “Volunteer Background Check”.

• Can take up to 2 weeks (more at the beginning of the year), encourage parents to complete this right away.

Your child will be bringing home a Conduct Sheet every day in their green folder. This sheet will provide you with an overview of your child’s behavior and progress throughout the day. The conduct sheet follows the Jackson GROWS expectations. It is important to review the sheet, this system helps us keep an open line of communication regarding your child’s conduct and ensures we work together to support their success.

Mrs. Alexander will be updating this so parents can be kept aware of what we will be doing during guidance visits throughout the year.
