Patriot Nation,

What a great week at Jack, continuing to Build the Legacy of Leading and Learning in 2022-2023. We safely and successfully logged over 550 visitors on campus for Grandfriend's Day. What a turnout! It was an honor to partner and serve our community this week with such a wonderful event. We also had our first meeting of our Little Leader Readers on Wednesday. What a great opportunity to make an impact on our future Patriots! We had fun at Punt, Pass and Kick on Saturday, and some of our staff also served at the East Texas Food Bank. It was a busy and week and we look forward to continuing to serve everyone!

We look forward to a great week!

- Please drop off by 7:50. Our tardy bell rings at that time and we want our Patriots ready to learn with us.

- We cannot release kids after 2:45 due to dismissal procedures. If you have appointments, please make arrangements to pick up by this time.

- If you are dropping off before 7:15, please use the back loop. This area is staffed and students are directed to the cafe or gym. After 7:15, our front loop will be open.

The City of Tyler did a traffic study on our dismissal locations in the past few weeks. They have now installed No Parking, Standing, Stopping Signs from 2:30-3:30 on Balsam Gap and Rock Point. This area not be accessible during this time. Both sides of RockPoint Lane and the cross walk area have been marked. Our front car loop will extend through RockPoint Lane along Balsam Gap as necessary.

We know this is a new process and understand that with this change we may have some new issues arise. The City of Tyler traffic engineers deemed this the safest solution. If you have any questions please let us know.
