Jackson Elementary School

Congratulations, Jackson!  We met all seven standards to receive a recommendation to become an accreditated school yesterday.  We had a two-day visit from a Quality Assurance Review team, and they were very pleased about what happens here at Jackson.  We will receive our full report in approximately 30 days.

What does this mean?

Jackson Elementary will work on the team’s recommendations the rest of this year, and the next two years, 2010-2011 and 2011-2012.  Then in the school year of 2011-2012, we will submit a progress report on how we are doing on the recommendations from this year’s visit.  Then we will have another 5 year visit in the year of 2014-2015.

Thank you to all our parents, students, and staff.  Everyone has worked really hard to achieve this accomplishment!

¡Felicitaciones, Jackson!  Nos reunimos con las siete normas requeridas para recibir la recomendación de acreditación escolar ayer.  Tuvimos la visita de dos días del equipo de Revisión de Garantía de Calidad, y estaban muy satisfechos de lo que sucede aquí en Jackson.  Recibirémos nuestro informe completo en aproximadamente 30 días.

¿Qué significa esto?

La escuela Primaria de Jackson implementará las recomendaciones del equipo para el resto de este año escolar, y los dos siguientes años, 2010-2011 y 2011-2012.   A continuación, en el año  escolar de 2011-2012, presentaremos un informe de progreso sobre la implementación de las recomendaciones de la visita de este año.  Entonces tendremos otra visita de quinto año en el año escolar de 2014-2015.

Gracias a nuestros padres, estudiantes, y personal. ¡Todos trabajaron diligentemente para alcanzar este logro!

Welcome to Jackson Elementary!

As the new administrator of Jackson, I have a few things to reflect upon about my beginnings here.  The first reflection is how lucky we are to have such a beautiful building located in such a gorgeous place.  Our building is nestled along the Green River, with mountains and the famous Scott’s Bottom right below us. 

The second reflection I have is what a dedicated and welcoming staff we have at Jackson.  I have been here throughout the summer, and the teachers and support staff have been working and preparing for our students during their summertime.  We have 17 highly qualified classroom teachers, a title one teacher, two ELL teachers, a resource teacher, and a special program for autistic students.  We also offer art, music, media, computer, health, and physical education classes to your students.  Our focus is to make a difference with the students attending Jackson Elementary.

We have approximately 300 students attending kindergarten through fourth grade at Jackson Elementary.   Our school hours are from 8:45 am until 3:25 pm.  The staff is ready to provide instruction to meet the needs of the individual students and to help students reach their highest potential.

Jackson met Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) from our state assessment, PAWS, last year.  This year we will be visited by an AdvancED accreditation team in January.  This is an important visit to let us know if Jackson is working towards our goals.  We need to have parents and the community be a part of preparing for our visit.  Please look for your invitation to participate in this process.

Jackson’s current school goals are:

·         Writing: Jackson Elementary students will improve in writing in the content area across the curriculum.

·         Reading: Jackson Elementary students will increase understanding of informational text.

·         Math: Jackson Elementary students will improve abilities to make connections between understanding concepts and computational proficiency.

I look forward to meeting you and working with you in helping your student(s) achieve their highest potential.  Let’s have a great 2009-2010 school year!

Go Jackson Jaguars!
