NJES Paw Prints 11/11

Hello NJES Families,

We’ve had a fantastic week here at North Jackson Elementary! Our teachers and staff have been working closely with students to measure their progress in reading and math, and we’re excited by the growth we’re seeing.

On Friday, we had the privilege of honoring our community's veterans during our NJES Veterans program, and later that evening, we shared a fun-filled night at the Fall Festival. We’re so grateful to everyone who helped sponsor, volunteer, or simply came out to join the festivities. It was wonderful to see so many of our students and families enjoying time together.

Looking ahead, we’re excited to host our school-wide Career Fair on Friday, November 15th. This event will introduce students to a variety of professions and future job opportunities, sparking ideas about the many pathways open to them. The following week, on Wednesday and Thursday, November 20th and 21st, we look forward to welcoming those of you who reserved spots to join your children for our Thanksgiving meals.

Thank you for your continued support in making NJES a positive and thriving community for all our students. We look forward to another great week ahead!

Warmest regards,

Mr. Johnson

Principal, North Jackson Elementary School

Students are encouraged to register for the November reading challenge through Beanstack and log their reading minutes this month!

We are excited about hosting our school-wide career day on November 15th! Students will be learning about different career and jobs throughout the week. If you are interested in being a participant, please let your child’s teacher know.

Parents, please be on the lookout for forms regarding our mandatory Child Safety lessons. Jackson County utilizes the Think First and Stay Safe Child Lures Prevention curriculum. These lessons are required by the state, and review important information on how students can stay safe and tell a trusted adult should they ever need help. More information about this program is provided on the form that will be sent home with your child. If you do NOT want your child to participate in these lessons, there is an option to opt them out of participating. Should you have additional questions about this curriculum, or what classroom lessons will look like, please contact the school counselor at sydney.neese@jcss.us.
