A BIG THANK YOU to our amazing PTO for providing a delicious Thanksgiving lunch for our teachers and staff. We are so thankful for all you do to support our school family!
Thank you for joining us at our Thanksgiving Feast! We were grateful to serve over 500 adult meals and to witness the sweet interactions between our students and their families. It was truly heartwarming to see so many of you come together to celebrate and share in this special time of year.
We hope everyone has a fantastic and safe Thanksgiving Break filled with rest, love, and cherished moments. When we return, we’re looking forward to a December packed with special events, lots of learning, and the joy of the season.
Thank you for being a part of the South Jackson community. We are so thankful for each and every one of you!

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!
Looking for some family fun? Head over to the Nicholson Library for exciting events!
And remember, grab great books while you're there. Every Jackson County student has a library card, the PLAY Card—just use your lunch number!
