7-Labor Day (no school)

11-Patriot Day

(1st Six Weeks:August 19th-September 25th)

Thank you for all the support you have provided as we started this school year.

Please note the Learning Declaration Window opens September 7th in Parent Self Serve. Please denote if your student will be Learn@Home or Learn@School for the 2nd Six Weeks (September 28th - October 30th). This window closes on September 11th at 11:59 pm. If you do not declare during this time, we will maintain a student's position from the 1st Six Weeks.

The declaration process is important to prepare for safe procedures and learning environments for our students.

The window is currently open for us to collect data for our Leader in Me program and how we can have continued success and grow each year. Please use the link below to complete the survey!

Our annual Patriot Day Ceremony will be held virtually on September 11th. We are exploring options on providing a live link to view the ceremony from home and will get more details to you next week. The ceremony will be recorded and placed in our Patriot Family Gazette next week as well.

Your grade level teachers are accepting photos of veteran family members that will be honored in a slide show to be viewed by our Patriots as well. We are so thankful to be able to honor Dr. Bryan C. Jack Elementary!

Our Jack PTA provides resources and opportunities for learning experiences, volunteering, and just plain fun! Please consider joining by going to http://www.jointpta.org. We love our amazing PTA and the support they provide for our Patriots!

This is just a reminder that at this time we are not having any visitors on campus. This includes dropping off of lunches, birthday treats, etc. If you have an emergency, please contact us and we can help you out. Thank you for understanding during this transitional time.

Please see the link below for Habit Chat Cards, that can be used at home to reinforce leadership and Leader in Me with your Patriot!

We currently working through scheduling and preparing for our annual open house. This event is designed so that you can get updates on curriculum, grade level expectations, and more. The even will be held during the week of October 5th-9th. We have not finalized details, but wanted you to be able to mark you calendars!

While we have made the transition to the new school year, we are continuously making adjustments to our attendance procedures to account for all learners, both Face to Face and @home. We are working through the processes and once we have an update we will be giving updates on numbers and attendance data. Thank you for your patience in this process.

We wanted to send out an advertisement about following us on Twitter @jacktylerisd and follow me @BSShelby! This is a great way to stay connected to the happenings here at Jack! Our educators are also encouraged to share what is going on in their classrooms using twitter so contact them to see if you can give them a follow! You can also follow us on Facebook, as we post updates frequently and weekly newsletters. Please encourage family members to join, as it is a great way to connect to the learning inside our building from afar!
