Tanger Commerce awards South Jackson a grant of $2100 to fund a Playground Adaptive Communication Board. Thank you, Tanger Commerce! 

We are thrilled to introduce the newest addition to our SJ family, Ms. Kelly Thompson-Rudd!  With an impressive 17 years of teaching experience, Ms. Thompson-Rudd brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to our Reader's Theater specials program. 

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! 

BookBreak brings 2-3 bestselling children’s author events to our schools each month via live stream (or continued access through recorded sessions). The events are for specific grade levels (e.g., K-1st, 2nd-3rd or 4th-5th). Each grade level will have the opportunity to hear from an age-appropriate author at least once per month. 

The live talks will be 10-15 minutes long. They are designed as a short “brain break” to hear from authors about their books and the writing process.

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 

Infinite Campus 

All families should set up an Infinite Campus Parent Portal Account. Click HERE to set up your child's account. This account allows you to receive important school messages through the Remind app, see student grades and attendance. If you have trouble with this process, email Mrs. Embry at angie.embry@jcss.us  After a parent portal account has been activated, please allow 24 hours for the information to sync with the Remind app to be able to message teachers. If you are unable to use Remind at any time, please send your child's teacher an email.   


Every day is a great day at SJ!
