This week we will celebrate Red Ribbon Week, which is a national campaign dedicated to educating our students about the dangers of substance abuse and inspires positive decision-making to commit to living safe, healthy, and drug-free lives. We will celebrate with dress up days next week. See the theme for each day and let's encourage our students to have fun, while being safe and responsible.

Want to make someone’s Halloween extra sweet? Send them a Boo Gram! Your student can spend 3$ to have Watermelon Sour Patch Kids delivered straight to a friend, teacher, or anyone they might want to boo. All Boo Grams will be delivered on October 31st during homeroom and ELT time—so your spooky surprise arrives right on time! 

Claws up everybody! Our school is partnering up with the Athens Rock Lobsters to offer a free ticket to an ice hockey game. All your student has to do is log their reading minutes for each month until January 1st. When they reach 1,000 minutes, they have earned a free ticket to a game! See the flier for more information and remind your student to check their Canvas announcements and Clever page for their Google form to log their reading!

We are thrilled to announce all JCSS schools are adopting the Raptor Safe mobile application as part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing school safety, while streamlining visitor management check-in at our schools. The Raptor Safe app builds upon existing visitor procedures, offering a more convenient and secure check-in process for visitors. Learn more by visiting www.jacksonschoolsga.org/raptorsafe. 

WJMS Families, it is incredibly important that students are coming to school each day with their Chromebooks and that the Chromebook is fully charged. When students do not have their resources, it puts the student behind in daily assignments which have to be completed at a later time. Please help us by reminding your student to have their supplies and be best prepared for the day! 

As a reminder, students should not bring in any outside food from restaurants.  This will help with concerns about food safety, potential disruptions in the classroom, managing food allergies among students, and maintaining the cleanliness of the school environment.

Thank you for your help!

Families, please remember that 1st period instruction begins promptly at 8:45 AM each day. To ensure students are in class and ready to learn on time, they need to be in the building no later than 8:40 AM. This allows them time to get to their classrooms and prepare for the day ahead.

Thank you for your help in supporting a smooth start to the school day!

Your best school supply is a library card! JCSS has partnered with the Piedmont Regional Library System, and conveniently, your student ID number acts as a library card for your public library! The public library provides free access to books and online resources to help you succeed, as well as fun resources that help develop a lifelong love of reading.
