Dear Jackson Families,
Below is a quick update on a few items for the next couple of weeks. We look forward to seeing you and having your child return to us for the school year.
Wednesday, August 21, 2019 – Tiger Time, 3:00-7:00 p.m. This is not a required event, but we welcome you to attend. If you come, both parents and students must attend. You can come anytime between 3:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. and should plan to stay about 30 to 60 minutes. You may want to bring multiple checks for payments, however, cash is also accepted. Here is what you can do at Tiger Time:
- Pick up, fill out mandatory forms, and get a head start on the school year.
- Bring medications and doctor's orders needed for the school year.
- Buy your student’s PE uniform.
- Put money on your student’s lunch account.
- Sign up for our PTA and meet new PTA Board members.
- Sign up for ParentView
- PICK UP YOUR CLASS SCHEDULE if all required forms are completed.
Thursday, August 22, 2019 - Orientation, 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. Orientation is for new students (all 7th graders and new 8th graders). Students can get their schedules at this event or at Tiger Time. If students do not attend these events, they will receive their schedules on the first day of school.
-
Please be sure to tell your student to bring his/her class schedule to orientation if they have already received it.
- This orientation is for all rising 7th-grade students and 8th-grade students who will be new to Luther Jackson.
- Students will have the opportunity to walk through their schedules and meet their teachers.
- Students will not have access to their lockers so they should bring only a pencil or pen with a few sheets of loose-leaf paper.
Students Rights & Responsibilities (SR&R)
One important document that schools have not received yet is the 2019-20 Student Rights & Responsibilities. The electronic copy of the document is available at the link, and students will be given hard copies of it to bring home when we receive it at the school.
Parents have the option of printing & signing the signature sheet to acknowledge receipt of the link, but are also welcome to wait until the hard copy of the booklet has been received. Copies of the signature sheet will also be available at Tiger Time. You may also access the signature page here.
