Jackson Middle School Families,
We are off and running to a great start for the 2019-2020 school year! This morning, as students eagerly arrived on campus, LJMS staff members welcomed our new and returning students into the building this morning with joy and excitement! We received a visit from Dr. Francisco Duran, who serves as FCPS' Chief Equity Officer, as well as School Board Member Mr. Ilryong Moon and School Board Member Ms. Dalia Palchik. During our time together, we were able to meet students in classrooms and participate in some great community building activities.
During our extended lunches today, all students reviewed an SR&R activity intended to help introduce new updates and policies adopted by the school board. Teachers also reminded all students of important first-week information regarding how to get breakfast and lunch at school. Tomorrow, Tuesday, August 27, is an even day, meaning students will attend the following periods in this order: 2nd, Advisory/1st, 6th, and 8th.
Transportation ran smoothly both during arrival and dismissal today. Students did a great job remembering their bus numbers and working with school staff to find buses in the afternoon line-up. We took good notes on how we can continue to work with FCPS Transportation to optimize logistics and are committed to seeing all students arrive and depart on time. Thank you for your flexibility during this first week.

Parents who drop off up their student to school via Kiss & Ride, should do so by 7:15 am. Announcements and P2 will be at 7:20 am and class begins at 7:30 am. Keep in mind that congestion and backup can be significant, causing your student to be late to their class if you drop off your student after 7:15 am.
If you have any questions, concerns, compliments, or observations, please let me know. You can also contact the associated teacher, counselor, or administrator.
