The first day for students at the Cape Career & Technology (CTC) will be Tuesday, January 7. On days that JHS is in session and CTC is not, students who attend the morning CTC classes may report to JHS by 11:10AM for their afternoon classes only. Students who attend afternoon CTC classes will be dismissed at 11:10AM, after their morning JHS classes. Students who ride a bus to and from school may stay in the library during their scheduled CTC times.

On days that Jackson is off school, but CTC (Cape) is in session, Jackson students may choose to drive to the CTC to attend classes if they wish. Attendance is not required on days Jackson is not in session and cannot provide transportation.

Please review the CTC Calendar for additional days they will not be in session.

Students who wish to change their class schedule for second semester should obtain a class change form from the Counselor's Office. The last day to turn in a class change form is January 10 at 3:00PM. Schedules cannot be changed after this date.

Grades from Semester 1 will not be finalized until after January 7. Grades will be processed as quickly as possible. You will receive a notification when they are ready. You may access your student's grades at any time by logging into the Parent Portal.

Our spring Parent-Teacher conferences are Tuesday, February 11 and Thursday , February 13 from 4:30-7:30PM. Students and parents will meet with advisory teachers to discuss next year's enrollment. Your student's advisory teacher will send out a sign-up for you to select a time on these dates to go through this information at the end of the month.

Counselors will go over enrollment information in your student's ELA classes at the end of January. Feel free to have discussions with your student about their plans for the remainder of their HS career.

Here is your chance to donate $50 and opt out of any more fundraising! We are asking for $50 from each senior’s family to meet our fundraising goal. The money raised pays for the Senior Breakfast, Senior All Night Party, a scholarship, a brick on the trail of honor, and money for the first reunion for their class. The goal is to raise $10,000 so we need all the help we can get!

You can Venmo Heather using the info below or send a check made out to Jackson Senior Class to Robin Masters at 2443 Bristol Drive, Jackson. Thank you in advance for your donations! Please add your senior’s name to the memo line on the check or the what’s this for line on Venmo. Thank you!
