The Jacobs Journal

And that's a wrap.

Thank you for your patience, support, and commitment throughout this school year. It has been an absolute pleasure educating your children during what has been another action packed year at the Jacobs School. From field trips and performances, to MCAS, House Challenges, assemblies, concerts, and everything in between, our students have accomplished so much. None of it would be possible without the strong partnership between home and school that makes the Jacobs community so special.

As we head into summer, I would strongly encourage families to support their child's reading habits. Summer reading is one of the best ways to prevent the "summer slide" and help students maintain the gains they made throughout the school year. Whether it is through our Summer Reading Program, a favorite book series, magazines, or simply reading for pleasure, every minute spent reading matters.

I would also encourage students to spend time on IXL Math throughout the summer. Even a few minutes each week can help reinforce important skills and make the transition back to school in the fall a smoother one.

Most importantly, I hope our students spend plenty of time being kids. Ride your bike. Go to the beach. Play outside. Spend time with family and friends. Make memories. Summer has a way of flying by, and before we know it, we will be welcoming everyone back for another exciting year at the Jacobs School.

On behalf of our entire staff, thank you for a wonderful school year. Have a safe, relaxing, and fun-filled summer.

-Mr. Shaw

Here are the links to all our summer reading and math packets. Grade 6 math packets will be mailed out in July, but you can print your own if you want to get a jump on them.

The PTO Raffles at the Ice Cream Social were great fun! These students were thrilled to win a Spa Day with Mrs. Scott. We hope these creative raffles will be a lasting tradition at the Jacobs School!

Will your family take a turn tending the garden for one week this summer?

Please return any books you still have, or replace or pay for them. Thank you!

Preschool Registration for the 2026-2027 School Year is open! If you have a child who will be 3 or 4 years old at the start of the next school year, it's time to register for preschool! Please email Amy Hyde at ahyde@hullpublicschools.us for additional information.

If your child will be 5 years old by September 1 and is not already a student at the Jacobs Preschool, it's time to register for kindergarten!

Eligible students already enrolled in Hull Integrated Preschool at the Jacobs School will automatically advance to kindergarten ─ no re-registration is needed.

Send RAD Photos of your Pirates having fun in their Core Value T-Shirts or School Colors to lrajan@hullpublicschools.us all summer long, and we'll add them to the slide show at our first assembly in the fall! Kids love seeing themselves and their friends on the big screen!
