We will have Winter Break from December 23, 2024 - January 5, 2025. The school office will be closed during this time. Enjoy your time with your family, and we will see everyone back at school on Monday, January 6, 2025.

We would like to thank the Here For You program at Pet Smart for donating over 600 stuffed animals to all of our students yesterday! The students were excited to have this cuddly surprise during our Polar Express celebration day!!

St. Baldrick's Helps With Major Treatment Breakthrough for Childhood Cancer

Thanks to research majorly funded by St. Baldrick's, more kids will survive cancer! The St. Baldrick’s Foundation was the largest charitable supporter of a groundbreaking clinical trial that has changed the future for children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The Children’s Oncology Group (COG) has announced transformative findings which are adding blinatumomab, a targeted immunotherapy, to standard chemotherapy dramatically improves disease-free survival rates for children with standard-risk ALL. These results are so remarkable that the COG is halting all ongoing trials to immediately integrate this safer, more effective treatment for all patients. This historic achievement is possible because of donations to St. Baldrick's. In late January, Jackson Local Schools will begin its 2025 St. Baldrick's campaign, and we hope to again enjoy great community support in our efforts to help cure childhood cancer!

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.
