Since you will be learning both in school AND at home, it is important that you bring your laptop to school with you on the first day of school and every other day. ALL CHROMEBOOKS SHOULD BE CHARGED NIGHTLY! Our Google Classroom will be the hub for your learning, and we will be setting it up on our very first day together.

Read It to Eat It Program

In our continued effort to promote literacy and a love of reading, we have once again partnered with Bubbakoo's for their "Read It to Eat It" program. 

Click here for directions on how this program works. 

There will be NO SHARING of any school supplies. 

 Please come to school with your PLANNER every day.  It was in the supply box you picked up from school. If you do not have one, email me.   

Please label everything that comes in, including water bottles. And don't forget sweatshirts/jackets as the weather will start to get cooler! This can be as easy as pinning a ribbon or piece of fabric inside the clothing, so you DO NOT have to write on it. 

• In the backpack, it is also encouraged to have an extra mask or 2 incase the 1st one gets misplaced or dirty.  Please be sure that the clean masks are in a labeled bag or container. Dirty masks will just be put in their backpack so you know the difference.Please remember that it is mandatory that the children wear masks all day.
• Students are not allowed to share or trade masks- please discuss this prior to the first day and talk about the importance of wearing a mask to stay safe and protect others.
• We will be meeting the "at home" group in the afternoon each day around 2:15. More information on this will be shared shortly. 
• There will be no snack or food of any kind in the classroom.

 Our lunch is scheduled for: 11:20  

Lunches may be purchased, but is recommended to bring a bagged lunch.

If purchasing a lunch, it is strongly suggested to deposit money on your student lunch account. 

This announcement was just made by the USDA this week:

• IMPORTANT:  Pursuant to new USDA Guidelines, Effective August 31, 2020,  ALL Jackson School District students are now eligible for FREE breakfast and lunch through December 31, 2020.  If you wish not to participate, please instruct your child(ren) not to take the meals.  This includes in-school meals as well as remote meals.
• What does that mean for you? 
• If you want your child to bring in their own meal to eat during their scheduled lunch you may do so.  If you would like your child to choose the hot/cold lunch option they simply have to ask for it during homeroom.  These orders will be filled by the food services staff and bagged/container lunches will be distributed to students during their lunch period.  They do not have to swipe into their account because they are free of charge.
• ALL students will also have the option of taking home a FREE BAG OF REMOTE BREAKFAST/LUNCH MEALS.  At the end of the day, several areas will have tables set up for students as they exit the building.  The tables will have bags that contain the following day’s breakfast and lunch as well as the breakfast for their next day in school (We ask that they eat this breakfast before coming to school the next day.)  Again, these meals are FREE of charge for ALL students so they do not have to swipe their card.  If they would like, a student may take only one bag as they are escorted during dismissal by a staff member.  If they do not want this bagged series of meals, they will simply exit the building as normal without stopping by the tables.

FYI...There will be NO parties, events, assemblies, field trips until further notice. 

*It is VERY important to notify the main office and myself of a dismissal change for your child.  Please call the main office or send a note/email with your child's full name, the date, and teacher's name on your letter.* 

Donations of tissues, hand sanitizer, and Lysol Wipes are always greatly appreciated.
