News & Updates
We enjoyed having JCHS Football players and cheerleaders at GSES on Friday to help spread school spirit for their opening game at Panther Stadium. We loved seeing so many proud Panthers showing their spirit at GSES! Mia, Daniel, McKenzie, and Tanner were chosen by the Secret Spirit Squad as winners of free tickets to Friday's game. Congratulations to JCHS for their 22-7 win against Duluth!
Thank you to our Volunteer Copy Crew for helping teachers prepare for instruction. We are thankful for our helpful community!
We had a great turnout for our first PTO Meeting. It was an opportunity for our PTO Board to inform our community and encourage involvement. You can learn more about PTO intiatives at https://www.jacksonschoolsga.org/Page/1012.
We have many lost items in our 'Lost & Found'. Please be sure to label your child's belongings so that if they end up in the 'Lost & Found', they can easily be returned to their owners.
