Bus Routes and Information

Bus routes for the 2023-24 school year are now available by visiting this link.

Please note: to increase student and driver safety on school buses, the Jackson County School System has increased the number of community bus stops throughout the system.

School Clinic Information

The Jackson County School System will no longer be offering over-the-counter medications to students.

Medications including Ibuprofen, Tylenol, Pepto Bismol, Tums, and Benadryl will no longer be offered.
If your student(s) will require these medications during school hours, the medication must be brought to the school and registered into the clinic by a parent/guardian.
No medications should be kept in a student’s possession while at school without a physician’s approval and note.

Canvas 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.

If you have an Infinite Campus parent portal account, you already have an account created! Please see the attached picture for your username and password.

Feel free to email Heather Wilbanks (hwilbanks@jcss.us) if you do not have a parent portal setup or if you are unsure of your username. We would love to get our parents connected on Canvas!
