We had a great week at Jackson School! Our second grade drama club, Fairy Tale Follies,  performed Wednesday evening for parents and today for our school. Their version of The Bremen Town Musicians/Tik Tokers was fantastic!

We had a wonderful week of learning at Jackson. As we head into the third trimester, our classrooms are in their final unit of our new English Language Arts core curricular resource, Wit and Wisdom. Across classrooms, students are learning skills to identify big ideas in text, write responses based on text, and support their writing with reasoning and evidence. Skills and text increase in complexity from grade level to grade level.  

We are excited to announce that District 205 has adopted a new form of school-to-home communication called ParentSquare. This communications platform is designed to keep parents and guardians informed and encourage greater engagement and connection and replaces our previous system.

On Thursday, December 9, 2021, parents and neighbors were invited to attend a meeting regarding our proposed designs for Jackson Elementary School. The proposed project includes the addition of a library media center, hallway improvements and ventilation upgrades. The video recording of that meeting can be found here.

On May 18, 2021 at approximately 3:20 p.m., the Elmhurst Police Department notified the Bryan Middle School and Jackson Elementary School Administration of an incident near the school communities, requiring the schools to initiate a soft lockdown. The lockdown was in place briefly but was lifted by 3:38 p.m. the Elmhurst Police Department, allowing for dismissal to proceed as normal.
