We had our first assembly this morning with a Harlem Wizard. He showed us some tricks and even had a few student volunteers come up and learn some. The kids had a great time!

For Halloween, students need to leave costumes at home. The only students able to bring costumes to school are our Kindergartens, so they can wear them for our annual Kinder Parade. If your Kinder plans on participating, they can bring their costume in their backpack and change into it before the parade.

October 31st is an assembly and spirt day. Since the focus for this month is self-awareness, our dress up day is Super Hero Day!

Rules around dress up days:

No masks, face paint, gore or guts.

If you are picking up your student in a vehicle, we are requesting that you put your student's name and teacher on a piece of paper. Please put on your dash, so the staff doing pick-up duty can read it. With that said, it will need to be large enough for us to see. We think this would help with speeding up the process. Thank you for working with us to make things more efficient.

Picture day this year will be October 18th and retakes will take place on December 5th. More information will be sent home with your student in the coming weeks.

On October 2nd, at 7pm, the Harlem Wizards will be playing at Century High School against HSD Staff. If you are interested in attending, please follow this link for more information.

That morning, the Wizards will be hosting an assembly where the students will get to meet a Harlem Wizard and see some fun tricks.

Our annual Jaguar Jog is Tuesday, October 3rd. This event helps provide funding for field trips, clubs, special learning tools for classes just to name a few. Even though the name says jog, your child is welcome to walk, skip or move in a way that feels appropriate for them.

Hello Jackson families! We are so excited to be having the Fall Festival again this year! I know the kids are really looking forward to it! We rely solely on volunteer support to keep these fun Jackson traditions alive. Most of the shifts are only a half hour long and are even more fun with friends! We hope you will consider signing up to help us make this event a success! This year at Fall Festival we will have two food truck options, concessions, Kona Ice, face painting, games, crafts, music and a scare room put on by our fabulous sixth graders! The best news is entrance is FREE! The only thing that you will need money for is food. Kids are encouraged to dress up, but please do not bring weapons. To sign up just go to Fall Fest 2023 If you have any questions please contact Brittany Stark at brittanystark01@yahoo.com Thank you for your support and I hope to see you all at Fall Fest!
