Jackson Middle

Good evening Jackson parents, students, and staff. I would like to remind all our parents and students that tomorrow evening from 4:45 – 6:45, we will have open house at Jackson Middle School. We will open the main doors at 4:45 tomorrow afternoon. Students should find their HR teacher on the front windows of the cafeteria, then they can report to their HR to get their schedule. Each teacher will be in their rooms to help with directions around the building and to talk with students and parents. Open house will be at your own pace and students and parents can go through a student’s schedule and find each room if they like. Parents will also be able to complete the electronic Acceptable Use Policy for their student, either by using the QR code with their phone or on a computer in the library. We will have NJHS students around to help with both of these items. Completing the AUP early will allow your student to receive their IPad on Thursday or Friday of this week. We must check the items off before we can issue the student device. I would also like parents to know our PTA group will also be at open house tomorrow evening. I want to remind everyone that Thursday will be our first day of school and students need to be at school by 7:55 am. All students will enter through the cafeteria doors, 6th graders will report to the cafeteria, and all 7th and 8th grade will report to the gym. 6th graders will remain in the cafeteria until their HR teachers get them in the morning. Have a great evening and we look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow evening! Go Generals!

Sorry...to access the QR code you will have to go to our website: https://www.woodcountyschoolswv.com/o/jm or Facebook page. The QR image will not transmit over the SMS system. Thanks.

Parents of incoming 6th graders! If you could complete this form ahead of time or when you get to the school, this will allow us to give your child their IPad to take home today! If we don't have this we will assign them an IPad, they just can't take it home until we have this form completed. Thank you.

This is for all parents! The attached QR code allows you to complete your student's acceptable use policy! Please go to this link and complete the information. Students will not be able to take their IPad home until this information is completed. If you need a paper copy you will need to come to the school to get one. Go Generals!

Good evening Jackson parents, students, and staff! Just a reminder of our Tour de Jackson for incoming 6th graders tomorrow from 1pm – 3pm.

Students will come in the cafeteria doors, please locate your HR teacher’s name on the table and have a seat. We will start promptly at 1 pm. I also want to encourage all our students and parents to come to Open House on August 16. Open House for Jackson will be from 445-645 and students and parents can come and visit the school as they please. Students should report first to their HR so that they can get their schedule and then they can go around the school at their own pace to visit teachers and rooms. If you have questions feel free to call Jackson at 304-420-9551. Have a great evening and Go Generals!

Good evening Jackson parents, students, and staff: I want to make a few announcements concerning the JMS Olympics for Thursday and Friday. We will do all we can to have events outdoors, however if heavy rain or storms force us inside, we do have a modified schedule to go by and students will need to pay attention to directions so that events may occur. Please note that students may get wet if it does begin to rain, or if it is raining lightly the Olympics will continue outdoors. Backpacks are not allowed to be worn, however students may have a string bag or a fanny pack to carry belongings in. Concessions will be sold throughout the day and a concession menu can be found on the Jackson Facebook page or on the website. All purchases must be made in cash. All students will also still have an opportunity for lunch during the day in the cafeteria. The opening ceremonies will begin around 8:30 am and should end around 10:00 am. Closing ceremonies on Friday will begin about 2:00 pm. Please note that we will allow spectators during the these ceremonies if items are outdoor! However, we will not allow spectators inside the building. We do thank those that have volunteered and you should have gotten an email or a paper indicating when and where you should report. If you need to know, please call the school before 8:15 and we can try and help you. Have a great Olympics and if I hope you have a terrific summer break. One last time….Go Generals!
