Family Updates and Reminders
- The abnormally warm February temperatures have been refreshing. Even though the temperature has been warmer than normal, we still need all students to wear jackets outside. The temperature varies throughout the day and we need all students prepared with a winter jacket, snow pants, boots, gloves/mittens, and a hat.
- Students are welcome to bring a water bottle to school with them. We are asking that students drink water only. Some students have been coming to school with caffeinated powdered drinks that they add to their water bottles. The extra caffeine does not allow for an elementary students to be able to engage in learning. Water only please.
- Congratulations to Dave Tice, our Jackson day custodian on his upcoming retirement starting in mid March. Dave has been a tremendous support to Jackson and he will be missed!
- Thank you to our amazing Jackson PTO for organizing dinner for parent teacher conferences, No TV/Electronics week, and the Penny Wars. The next PTO meeting is March 19th @ 6pm.

Parking During Drop Off & Pick Up
When dropping off your child in the morning or picking them up after school please do not park in the area highlighted in red in the photo below. When parking in this area, you risk the safety of our students who are crossing in the crosswalk because it causes a blind spot for the crossing guard and may block our staff from being able to enter/exit the parking lot. Also, students should not be dropped off in the teacher's parking lot. Use the church parking lot on Menasha. Crossing guards will help students across the busy road. Thank you!
KEEPING OUR STUDENTS SAFE
Safety is a top priority at Jackson Elementary. In order to ensure all of our staff and students are safe, each month we practice a safety drill.
February Safety (SRP) Drill: HOLD
This safety response requires all staff and students to clear the hallways and stay in their assigned area. This allows staff to assist students and/or staff who are requiring additional support, and if needed allows emergency responders to move through the halls quickly to respond to any medical need.
Thank you for your partnership in keeping our students and staff safe. If you have any questions, please give Mrs. DeRosier a call 920-663-9522.
No TV/Electronics Week: March 4-8th
Forward Exam Coming Soon
Testing can be stressful for some students, and it is our goal to prepare students in order to lessen their text anxiety. Here are a few resources families can utilize in order to help prepare their student and reduce any anxiety or stress around the exam.
