JHS Weekly Announcements
Each day on our announcements we tell our students, At Jackson High School, know that you are loved, that you matter, and we are proud that you are a Viking! Vikings are kind, compassionate, and caring, respectful, responsible, and resilient, and today, like every other day, it is a great day to be a Viking! Thank you to everyone who helped at Friday’s football game to ensure the safety of all involved. Students who were involved have been issued consequences. This behavior will not be tolerated. This is not who we are as Vikings! Thank you for reminding your young person of the tenets that we foster as Vikings as it is the expectation during our school day and at home and away extracurricular activities. Thank you for your partnership!
The Halloween Band Concert will be held on Thursday in the auditorium at 7pm. Doors open at 6pm. Halloween Costumes prize will be awarded at 6:30pm!
This year, we will allow students and staff to wear Halloween costumes to school on Thursday. The costumes must be school appropriate and not include face coverings, face paint, weapons or look-alike weapons, interfere with the normal process of students getting to and from class, or sitting in their seat in class. Any costume that is disruptive will need to be removed, so be sure to have appropriate clothes handy if you are asked to change. Other than that we look forward to seeing some great costumes and students wearing their orange and black!
Each day we offer tutoring after school from 2:30- 4:00pm. We have three weeks left before exams and want to ensure the success of all of our students. Please encourage your child to attend after school tutoring sessions if they are struggling with their academics.
Just a reminder that there is no school Friday, November 1 due to professional development for our staff.
We look forward to seeing our students tomorrow! Wishing you a great evening! It is a great day to be a Viking!
Just a reminder that our day begins at 7:20am with doors opening at 7:00am. Students who have a pattern of being late to school and classes without a medical excuse will be referred to our attendance coordinator for further review. After 7:35am, students are only allowed to exit and enter the building via the Welcome Center. Parents are welcome at the Welcome Center if you have any questions or need to drop off/pick up your child or anything for your child.
During the school day, coats and all bags including backpacks and totes are to be left in lockers.
Cell phones and headphones are to be kept off and away while students are in class. Please remind your young person of these very important JHS policies.
Our high school community closet is a place where students can donate and receive essential items such as food, clothing, school supplies, and toiletries. It is meant to help students who may not have access to these items or may be experiencing financial difficulties. This initiative promotes a sense of community and support among students. It is open each week during lunches to all high school students.
