We’ve seen cars cutting into the bus lane on the K-1 playground side during afternoon dismissal. This is dangerous and could cause accidents. Please follow our dismissal procedures for everyone’s safety!

✅ As you round the playground, cars split into two lanes.
❗️Once you choose a lane, you CANNOT change lanes.
➡️ Left lane = Turn LEFT onto Shute Lane toward Gallatin Road.
➡️ Right lane = Turn RIGHT onto Shute Lane toward Cages Bend Road.

Following these steps keeps everyone safe and helps dismissal move faster!
Thank you for your cooperation! ❤️ #SafetyFirst #Teamwork

🎉🍚🥗 Our next Spirit Night is Tuesday, April 29th at Taziki’s in Hendersonville! From 11am to 9am (ALL DAY!!), a percentage of orders will come back to Jack Anderson! See the flyer for more details and don’t forget to mention JAE.

A slight change to the date was needed, so now the Carnival will be on Tuesday, May 13 during each grade’s Related Arts time. We are hoping for great weather so it can all be outside. AND WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!! Volunteering = your ticket to see your child(ren) enjoy the Carnival. Please sign up to volunteer here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/508044FAAA82DA31-56421246-jaecarnival

Due to recent weather-related school closures, our 1st Grade Performance has been rescheduled to Thursday, May 1st at 6:00 PM. 🌧️
With the extra days missed, this new date will give our students more time to practice and feel performance-ready! 🌟

Many of our students rely on school meals during the year. Over the summer, that need doesn’t go away—but the meals do. Let's help support them by donating to our local Family Resource Center!

Each grade is bringing a specific food item:

🍝 Kindergarten – Dried Pasta
🌶️ 1st Grade – Canned Chili
🍅 2nd Grade – Spaghetti Sauce
🥫 3rd Grade – Canned Ravioli
🥣 4th Grade – Instant Oatmeal
🍪 5th Grade – Pop-Tarts

🗓️ Bring items from April 28 – May 2
📊 Our 3rd graders will be tracking and graphing the donations!
🍧 The class with the most items in each grade will win a Popsicle Party!

Thank you for helping feed the hungry this summer! 💛

If you’ve ever walked through the doors of Jack Anderson Elementary, you’ve felt the warmth and efficiency of Ms. Donna Wise! 💛✨ She is the heart of our front office, making sure everything runs smoothly with grace, kindness, and a smile. From communicating with families and teachers to ensuring classes are covered and everyone signs in safely, she does it all—seamlessly and with so much care!

Ms. Donna, you are a true gem, and we are beyond grateful for your dedication and hard work. Thank you for being the glue that holds us together! 💐🎉

Having a car tag speeds up the car line and makes dismissal more efficient. If you need one, please email stephanie.defazio@sumnerschools.org with:

📌 Your student’s first and last name
📌 Their homeroom teacher’s name

Thank you for helping us keep dismissal running smoothly! 💙

To ensure a smooth and efficient pickup process, we ask that all families arrive in the car line no later than 3:50 pm. School dismissal is at 3:40 pm, and arriving promptly will help us keep traffic moving safely and quickly for everyone.

Thank you for your cooperation in making dismissal a safe and seamless experience for our students and families!

If your student needs a ONE-TIME bus pass, please send a note to the office with the following details:

1. Full Legal Name of your student
2. Homeroom Teacher and Grade
3. Home Address
4. Address to which your child needs to ride the bus
5. Date for which you are requesting transportation
