Ms. Bruce and Mr. Hynes' 5th Grade Science Classes worked on building bridges! On Friday, October 23rd, they tested how strong their bridges were by adding weight and pressure. This was a wonderful lesson and fun for students to experiment with building structures that last.

Our 5th graders will have the opportunity to visit JTHS on November 18 to watch a preview of the high school Fall Play, Peter the Starcatcher! Permission slips will be sent home on November 2nd and are due back on November 16. Transportation will be provided by the District and Homeroom teachers will all chaperone this event.

The Jackson School District is excited to share Marble Health as an additional mental health resource for students and families. Marble provides virtual therapy with licensed therapists, including individual, group, and family therapy. Appointments are typically available within four days with no waitlists, and Marble accepts most insurance plans, including Medicaid. Their therapists have experience working specifically with students and families and can provide support for concerns such as anxiety, school avoidance, bullying, stress, and other social-emotional challenges.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Our staff have been making phone calls home and scheduling in person meetings with parents as part of our initiative to improve daily student attendance. If your child has difficulty coming to school, we are here to help assist you. If they are absent due to illness, please bring in a doctor's note.

We have temporarily moved our lost and found to the hallway outside of our Main Office. When you arrive for Parent Conferences, please take a look to see if your child's belonging are amongst the items. We have water bottles, lunch boxes, sweatshirts and all sorts of jackets. We will also place all of the eyeglasses here as well.

Dear Parents and Students,

Students in Grade 5 and 6 will be issued brand new chromebooks starting Nov 20th. Students will not be issued a new device without turning in the old one. Chargers need to be returned as well or they will incur a fine to replace the device(s). The schedule will be sent out to parents in the next weekly newsletter.
