As we approach the holiday season, our school community continues to be incredibly busy and productive. Our students are showing growth and knowledge as they take part in MAP testing and writing assessments. We are incredibly proud of their hard work and look forward to celebrating their success!
We are excited to welcome everyone to our upcoming classroom events. These special occasions provide opportunities for students to share their learning with families. Be on the lookout for more information from your child’s teacher.
We extend a heartfelt thank you to our dedicated PTO for their tireless efforts in organizing the Jingle Jangle store. We can't wait to feel the festive spirit as the store opens next week.
Let's continue to work together to make this a wonderful holiday season for all.
Volunteers Needed! The PTO’s Jingle Jangle Shop is just around the corner, and we need your help to make it magical for our students!

Exciting things are happening at South Jackson Elementary! Our students are getting the unique opportunity to connect with bestselling children's book authors and illustrators through our BookBreak School Author Talk Series. This series brings incredible talent straight into our library and classrooms, inspiring young readers and sparking creativity!
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!
