The staff at the Jordan/Jackson Elementary School would like to thank all of the families who supported the Student vs Staff Basketball game on May 15, 2024. The evening was fun for everyone involved and together we raised $4,558 for the American Cancer Society.

The last day to send a chromebook in for repair will be Thursday, June 13th at 10:00am. They will be picked up at noon that day and returned by June 18th. Any issues after that time will need to be addressed in September.

Each third, fourth and fifth grade student should bring home their chromebook for the summer along with their charger and a mouse (if they use one). Students will bring them back in September to their new classroom.

A NOTE FROM OUR NURSES.......

Students must wear sneakers and socks for field day. Sneakers provide much more support to the foot and ankle during physical activity. There will be many fun activities such as 3-legged races and obstacle courses; we want everyone to be safe and injury-free!

Please apply sunscreen to your child before they come to school. We are hoping to enjoy a nice, sunny day and want to be sure all students are sufficiently protected. If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us.
