Building Leaders of Tomorrow

From the Principal's pen...

Patriot Families,

It was a great first week back and we are excited to begin the 2023-2024 school year at Jack Elementary! If you are new to Jack, welcome! We cannot wait to partner with you this year for the success of your child. Our weekly newsletter is used to inform and share information about our campus. It is filled with announcements about upcoming events, information for parents, and other great ideas to share in order to develop your Leader at home. Thank you again for joining us for another year at Jack Elementary, where we Build Leaders of Tomorrow!

Reminders at Jack

- Please drop off by 7:50. Our tardy bell rings at that time and we want our Patriots ready to learn with us.

- We cannot release kids after 2:45 due to dismissal procedures. If you have appointments, please make arrangements to pick up by this time.
