Patriot Nation,

What an exciting week of events at Jack to wrap up September. We had our Leadership Signing Day events last week, Habit House, and this week we have our Book Fair and Grandfriend's Day! If you are interested in volunteering for the book fair please see information below the graphic. It has been such a blessing working alongside all of our wonderful families as we Build Our Legacy here at Jack this year. Thank you for all of the support so far, as we creep into fall temperatures and continue Leading the Way with you. If you have not completed online registration and turned in all forms to the front office we will be contacting you this week.

We look forward to a great week!

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

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.
