South Jackson Elementary School
Our learning adventure is well underway, and it’s exciting to see how our students are embracing this journey! Every day is an opportunity to explore new ideas, discover talents, and celebrate each other’s successes. Don’t forget: we can’t wait to see you Tuesday for our Back to School Bash! It’s the perfect chance to connect with families and celebrate the start of this incredible adventure. The grade level with the highest percentage of sign-ins at class meetings will earn an extra recess. We can’t wait to see you there for food, fun, and fellowship!
This year at SJES, we’re working hard to build positive behavior expectations in alignment with our SOAR values: Safe, On Task, Accountable, and Respectful. By focusing on these core expectations, we’re creating a supportive and structured environment where every student can thrive. As we journey through the year together, let’s continue to encourage each other to stay on course and SOAR to new heights!
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Let’s make this week another step forward in our exciting adventure!
Our online Literati Book Fair is now live! Shop HERE to buy books or purchase gift cards that students can use online or at the fair. Don’t miss out on an intergalactic adventure in person from August 26-30 at South Jackson Elementary. The book fair will be open for family shopping during our Back to School Bash on August 27 from 5:30pm-7:30pm. Every purchase supports our school library!
Safety is our top priority during arrival and dismissal. Help everyone stay on time and out of harms way by following our trusty eagle timeline and car rider protocols. Staff will be on hand at the front of the school everyday from 7:00-7:35 and 2:35-2:55 to ensure student safety.
Did you know we have our own Little Free Library? Located in the back parking lot near the trail entrance, this tiny library is filled with books waiting to be discovered. Feel free to stop by to take a book or leave a children's book for others to borrow; let's keep SJ Eagles reading!
Here Comes The Bus for the Jackson County School System is now live! Here Comes The Bus allows for families and students to track the location of their school bus. The app will notify families of morning and afternoon arrival, and is a great transportation enhancement. Please note the app may take 24-48 hours to update. If after a problem with the application arises following the update window, please contact the JCSS Transportation Department via email at transportation@jcss.us. #SuccessatJCSS #AllAroundExcellence
