We are very grateful to Katie Maslowski and Lindsay Van Peeren who created our outstanding Sauder yearbook. These were distributed on May 20 to students who pre-ordered them. On May 24, yearbooks will be sold in the school lobby from 8:30 am - 9:15 am. There is a limited supply of yearbooks, so they will be sold as long as the supply lasts. Their price is $22, and cash and checks (made out to Sauder PTG) will be accepted. If yearbooks remain after May 24, they can be purchased in the school office during the summer. Please see info above regarding summer office hours.

Students completing grades 3, 4, and 5 who will be enrolled in Jackson Local during the 24-25 school year will bring home their devices, cases, and chargers for the summer. Please help your child keep track of these materials. As a rule of thumb, the computer should ALWAYS stay in its case.

The Jackson Local School District believes in partnering with parents and providing them with resources to help navigate the world of technology, games, and social media. While advances in technology have many great rewards, there is also the potential for harm. Since December, we have provided a resource and hope more parents and students, as appropriate by age, will take advantage of this.

We have partnered with SmartSocial.com for its on-demand courses for parents and students. The SmartSocial resources cover a wide range of digital and social media topics. We are providing a parent subscription package to these resources to help you learn how to navigate the negative (and positive) parts of social media with your students.
