East Jackson Middle School held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Eagles Nest, a locally operated food pantry for families of students attending any East Jackson school. This food pantry is made possible by donations from Kroger, iServe Ministries, and Southside Church's Backpack Kids. This pantry offers families food, water, laundry products, and feminine products. This pantry is available for any family with a student at East Jackson Middle School, East Jackson Elementary School, East Jackson High School, Maysville Elementary School, and South Jackson Elementary School. Families in need should contact their school counselor to sign up to receive the benefits of the Eagles Nest.
The Jackson County School System will once again be participating in the annual Bus Safety Poster Contest sponsored by the Georgia Department of Education. Interested students should contact their school's art teacher for more information!
Students received an August reading log from their ELA teacher to track their reading minutes. A new log will be given out each month so students can continue recording their minutes.

School Window Link for School Payments
We are thrilled to share that our school system is switching from SchoolPay to School Window as our payment platform. This platform does not require a log in and families can add multiple items, from multiple schools, to their cart before closing out payment. Furthermore, School Window does not charge families a credit card processing fee. Attached to this message is a family guide to help you learn more about School Window. You can access School Window by visiting www.jacksonschoolsga.org/schoolwindow.
Parent Square Information
We are moving to ParentSquare as a classroom, school, and district mass communication platform. Families should have received an invitation via the email address associated with a student inside the Parent Portal! Download the app today!
When do you receive your Parent Square notification?
By default, each Parent Square account is set to "digest" settings. Digest delivers all messages together at 6 pm to your email/text, while instant allows users to receive an email/text the minute the message is posted. You have the ability to change your notification preferences in your account settings.
Canvas Parent Information
Parents have access to Canvas Parent Observer accounts. These accounts will allow you to see an overview of what your child is learning and have access to a "Parent Resource" hub. This hub will have information specific to your child's teacher. You will find information about the teacher, contact information, a daily schedule, grade level standards, etc.
You already have an account created if you have an Infinite Campus parent portal account! Please see the attached picture for your username and password.
