Dear Eagle Families,
What an incredible week we’ve had at South Jackson! A heartfelt thank you to all the dads, uncles, grandfathers, friends, and great men who joined us for Doughnuts with Dudes. Your presence brought so much joy to our students, and it was a wonderful reminder of the strong and supportive community we share.
We also celebrated the launch of our second session of Eagle Experiences! These clubs provide such an amazing opportunity for our students to explore their interests, connect with their peers, and dive into the spirit of learning as an adventure. We’re proud of the excitement and engagement we’ve seen in each group!
Looking ahead, we’re thrilled to invite everyone to our Winter Wonderland Literacy and Math Night next Thursday! This special event is a great way to come together as a school community while exploring fun, educational activities for the whole family. We can’t wait to enjoy this magical evening with all our South Jackson families!
Thank you for all you do to support our school and our Eagles. Together, we continue to SOAR—being Safe, Accountable, On-task, and Respectful in all we do.
Join Us for World Read Aloud Day! Celebrate the joy of reading with us on February 5th! You can choose your time and favorite class to read to—or let us pick one for you. Scan the code or click the link to sign up and make this day unforgettable for our students!
South Jackson and the Jackson County School System's 2025-26 Pre-K Lottery Registration opens on Sunday, Dec. 1. Registration for the lottery does not guarantee placement into the state-funded program. For more information and to apply online, visit www.jacksonschoolsga.org/prek.
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
