It was a wonderfully busy week with many of our students back for in-person learning daily. Thank you to parents for completing your child’s daily health certification on time each morning. This has really helped us start school on time.
We had a great week at Jackson School. Our kindergarten, first, and second graders have settled into their daily in-person routines. Our kindergarten students have loved getting to their interdisciplinary play stations more often. First graders have been busy reading books and even recording videos of them reading. This week, our second graders spent more in-person time meeting with their book clubs. We are learning and growing every single day!
We had a great, snowy week at Jackson school! This week, it was so wonderful to welcome many of our kindergarten and first graders back to in-person schooling five days per week. Starting Monday, we will welcome our second graders for daily in-person instruction.
Elmhurst Community Unit School District 205 will operate on remote-learning status tomorrow, February 16, 2021
We celebrated 100 days of school this week. Our kindergarten students had a fun celebration with 100 day crowns, Zero the Hero, and of course, counting to 100! We are 100 school days in for the 2020-2021 school year and while it has definitely not been a typical year, we have done some great work at Jackson school.
This week, teachers began conversations in their Professional Learning Communities to review progress of our readers as a mid-year check. Our students have made wonderful progress as readers. We will continue these conversations into next week.
We had a wonderful week at Jackson School. The snow came at a perfect time for our kindergarten students to continue to investigate snow! Our students are working hard in reading, writing, and mathematics.
Our students and staff enjoyed a wonderful week at Jackson School. As I visit classrooms, I am so proud of the learning taking place.
This week at Jackson School, we welcomed back our students in our hybrid model. Our hallways and classrooms were full of smiles and laughter and we are so happy our students are back.
On the days your child is learning in-person, you must certify their health prior to arrival at school. If you cannot log into the system for any reason, please call the main office.

Our kinder cuties explored snow today and discussed what they notice/wonder. One asked, “why is the snow still white even though the sun isn’t shining on it?” (They previously learned snow is clear.) 💚 this problem based learning experience and our teachers for trying something new!
