As Veterans Day approaches, we would like to pay special tribute to those Veterans that are friends and family members of our students and teachers here at East Jackson Elementary. Please use THIS LINK to fill out the form and upload your photo. If you have done this in the past, please email Mrs. Wheeler to ensure that she still has your photo so it will be included in this year's slideshow. Photos are due by Friday, November 6. Thank you for helping us honor those in our EJES community!
We invite our Veterans to join us for a heartfelt program honoring the sacrifices and service of our nation's heroes. To ensure a meaningful experience for all attendees, we kindly request that only Veterans and their immediate family members attend due to limited seating. We are thankful for the service of the Veterans that are near and dear to the EJES community.
Veterans, please fill out THIS FORM to RSVP for our program by Friday, November 6. Any questions, please email Mrs. Wheeler (awheeler@jcss.us). Your participation will help us create a memorable tribute to those who have served our country.

We are thrilled to announce all JCSS schools are adopting the Raptor Safe mobile application as part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing school safety, while streamlining visitor management check-in at our schools. The Raptor Safe app builds upon existing visitor procedures, offering a more convenient and secure check-in process for visitors.
What is the Raptor Safe App? The Raptor Safe app offers a convenient and secure way for visitors to manage and verify their identity before arriving at a school. With the Raptor Passport feature, visitors can pre-verify their identity, allowing for a seamless sign-in process when they arrive on campus.
How Does It Work? When visiting a school, visitors can use their secure QR code generated by the app to expedite the check-in process. QR codes automatically regenerate every 5 minutes to ensure security and prevent misuse.
