Good evening Jackson parents, students, and staff; I want to take this opportunity to remind everyone that testing will begin tomorrow, May 16! For testing, students need to make sure they have their IPads completely charged daily! This will be the device that they take the test on. If your student has a difficult time having their device charged, they may be asked to keep it at school. Students also need to make sure they get plenty of rest and have something to eat before testing each day. Please make sure you student is on-time for school and prepared for testing each morning! We will test on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. If a student misses any of these dates, they will need to make up the test when they return to school. I also want to remind our 8th grade students that were invited to the Salute to the Scholars ceremony for tomorrow evening that we will begin at 6:30 and will be holding the ceremony on the football field, weather permitting. I will make the final decision about location depending on weather by 1pm. If it is changed to the gym, I will make a call to 8th grade at that time. We greatly appreciate you helping all our students do the very best on the General Summative Assessment. Have a great evening and Go Generals!!
