Dear South Jackson Families,
We had a lovely time at our Family Valentine’s Dance! 💕 Thank you to everyone who joined us for an evening of fun, dancing, and community. We also appreciate all the families who participated in our February classroom events—your involvement makes a big difference!
As we move through the second half of the school year, we want to emphasize the importance of being present all day, every day. Regular attendance is key to student success, and every moment in the classroom matters. When you miss school, you miss out—on learning, on friendships, and on special moments in the classroom. We truly miss our students when they are not here! Let’s continue to work together to make every school day count!
Thank you for your partnership and support!
