Good afternoon Jackson parents, students, and staff,
This is Mr. Kisner with a few announcements for our 8th graders and their parents. This Monday, PHS counselors will be here to talk with 8th grade students about scheduling. We will also have the PHS ROTC coming to talk to any 8th graders that may be interested in that program. After Monday, the PHS counselors will be talking to students individually to look at scheduling for their 9th grade year. Parents may wish to talk to your student after Monday concerning options that they may be talking to the counselor about later on in the week.
I also want to mention that there will be a parent meeting Monday evening at 6:30 pm in the Jackson gymnasium. Door 17 by the side parking lot will open at 6:15 pm. Students do not need to attend this meeting. This is a session for parents to talk to the PHS counselor and get information concerning scheduling. Again, this is for parents and students do not need to attend.
Have a great evening and Go Generals!
