Jackson High School Newsletter

Here are the "Big 3" for the week ahead!

1. As the school year ends, please note our summer hours below. Please also note the announcements below regarding medication pick-up, required vaccination for senior students, and the mandatory athletic pre-season meeting dates for our athletes next year.

2. Please remember to utilize the Sandy Hook Tipline throughout the summer if you believe that a student is in need of help, especially regarding mental health.

3. I hope that all of our Jackson High School families have a great and safe summer. We will see you again in August!

Thank you, and Go Bears!

Mr. Ziders

It’s hard to believe that another school year is quickly coming to an end! This is a friendly reminder for any student that has medication in the clinic:

• Medications must be picked up from school by a parent or guardian only.
• Students are NOT permitted to take medication home on the bus except for documented epi-pens and asthma inhalers.
• Please make arrangements to pick up your child’s medication by Thursday, May 30. The office will be open between the hours of 8AM to 2 PM daily after May 24.
• Any medication left in the clinic after May 30 will be disposed of.

Please do not hesitate to call me (330.834.4653) or email me (laf2jc@jackson.sparcc.org) if you have any questions or concerns. I hope you have a relaxing and fun-filled summer and I will see you in August!

Please know that students entering 12th grade must have a Meningococcal (A, C, Y, W-135) vaccine. If the 1st dose of Meningococcal was administered before the 16th birthday, a second dose is required. STUDENTS may not be permitted to attend school next year until proof of these immunizations has been provided to the school or an exemption statement is on file at school. Immunizations may be obtained from your child’s healthcare provider, pharmacies, and the Stark County Health Department. Please submit a copy of your child’s immunization or complete an exemption form prior to the first day of school next year. You may submit an electronic copy to our School Nurse, Mrs. Lori Fisher at laf2jc@jackson.sparcc.org, drop off a copy of your child's records to the Main Office or mail a copy to Mrs. Fisher at school. Please contact Mrs. Fisher, should you have questions. Please know that exclusion from school will take place if correspondence is not received.

Are you a JHS alumni or faculty member that has served in the military? If so, we are looking for uniforms and memorabilia to display. Please contact the main office and ask for Todd Morris if you are interested in contributing to this project.
