Welcome back to another great year! August 30th is the first day of school!!
All are welcome to attend Jackson Elementary School’s Open House on August 31st. You can stop in from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. and see the school!! School board members, community members, friends, and families are welcome to come and see the new Multipurpose Room and other updates to the school. On August 31st, Jackson will also have a “Meet the Teacher Night” from 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. Presentations will be as following: 7:00 – 7:15 – 1st grade, 7:15 – 7:30 – 2nd grade, 7:30 – 7:45 – 3rd grade, 7:45 – 8:00 – 4th grade, 8:00 – 8:15 – 5th grade. Kindergarten orientation will be August 24th from 6:00 – 7:30.
Now that the new Multipurpose Room is complete, the drop-off procedure for students in the morning will be different and in a safe and more organized manner. If you drop off your child, please go back to the school and drop your child off at the new Multipurpose Room entrance. Please drop off your child after 8:20 a.m.
If you pick up your child at the end of the day, please come into the building and sign your child out in the office and then go to the cafeteria and wait for your child to be dismissed. This will help with keeping the hallways open in case of emergencies. Thanks for your cooperation!
This year with the help of generous donations, the teachers at Jackson Elementary school are going to participate in the Institute for Inquiry training throughout the school year. This training is geared towards teaching students through hands-on activities and inquiry based knowledge not only in Science but all subjects. This training is through ASSET, Inc. and made possible by donations from the Central Cambria Education Foundation. The CCEF is a nonprofit organization that helps our students participate in extra educational opportunities that our students would not be able to receive. If you are interested in learning more about the Central Cambria Education Foundation, please go to the www.ccsd.k12.pa.us website.
The teachers and students are also going to the participate in the Science It’s Elementary Program this year. The teachers were trained this past year and will teach the same Module this year. This was made possible by donations from Cambria CoGen Plant, Jackson Lions Club, and Somerset Trust Bank.
Thanks to our PTO and teachers and staff and everyone who helps in making Jackson Elementary School a great place to grow socially, emotionally, and academically. The PTO has been working hard on the new playground, putting in new benches, and cleaning the gardens, etc. We appreciate everyone’s hard work.
Thanks to Gamesa for donating a new scoreboard for our new Multipurpose Room. Thanks to Rich Bauer – Somerset Rural Electric and Glenn Coposky- Selectric Electrical Company for volunteering to install the new scoreboard donated by Gamesa.
The saying “it takes a village to raise a child” is so true. Thanks for all of your help!!
This past year we all have been working very hard to exceed student achievement for all students and meet the AYP guidelines on the PSSA. Once again, Jackson Elementary School has met this goal.
