Pardon the late text, however I stated the wrong date in my message concerning fundraiser items! The sale was over November 1 and the date I need to turn in forms is this Friday, November 5! Sorry for the confusion!
Good evening Jackson parents, students, and staff:
I would like to thank everyone that has participated in our Extravaganza Fundraiser. Please make sure your fundraiser forms are turned into the office by Friday, November 12, in the morning. We need to turn all the forms in that afternoon so we have our items ready!
In addition, I want to mention a couple quick items, as we get ready for the holiday season. You will find two surveys on our website, one for people interested in helping out with our Holiday Helping Hands and one survey for those that are in need this holiday season. You can find both of these surveys on the Jackson website under the News tab. If you can complete these items for us as we want to help our school community for the holidays. Please have the surveys completed by November 19. If you do not have internet access you can pick up a form in the office during school hours.
Have a great evening and Go Generals!
Good evening Jackson parents, students, and staff!
I would like to remind everyone that this week we will be having Jackson Spirt Week.
Meme Monday, Tacky Mom Tuesday, Wonder Wednesday, Throwback Thursday, and Fabulous Freaky Friday. You can see what each of these days are specifically by looking at the Facebook page or the website. We look forward to everyone participating in our Spirit Week!

Good evening, Jackson parents, students, and staff,
I hope you all are having a good evening. I want to mention a couple items for this week. First, our Parent Teacher Organization will be having a meeting tomorrow, Oct 20, at 330 pm. They are meeting right in front of the school at this time. I encourage anyone that would like to be part of the PTO to come out and support them at this time, bring a chair!
I also want to mention that the end of the first nine weeks is this Friday, Oct 22. Grades are closing quickly and students need to make sure they have all work turned in. Report cards will be issued on Nov. 1.
Next week we will be having Spirt Week here at Jackson! I will have an announcement concerning events for each day! Please also check out our Jackson Middle School Facebook page for a flyer concerning these events!
Have a great evening and GO GENERALS!
Good evening Jackson parents, students, and staff,
This is Mr Kisner with a quick announcement for the week. On October 14, Fall sports will be taking group pictures. Anyone wanting re-takes or makeup individual pictures will also have them done this day. If your student needs a picture packet they are in the hall in front of the office.
Just a reminder that there will be no school for students on October 15, as teachers have professional learning and faculty senate on this day.
Have a great evening, Go Generals!
Good evening Jackson parents, students, and staff,
This is Mr Kisner with a quick announcement. First, if your student has a water bottle they can bring to school to fill at water fill stations please have them bring them. We have too many students asking for cups from our nurse and we just cannot provide that many.
Also I want to mention that there will be no school for students next Monday, October 4.
Have a great weekend and go Generals!!
Good afternoon Jackson parents, students, and staff,
This is Mr. Kisner with a quick reminder for everyone that tomorrow, September 20, is the 1st nine weeks midterm. All parents may check student progress and grades via Schoology for the midterm. If you have any questions, you can message your student’s teacher on Schoology or call the school and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
I hope you have a great evening and Go Generals!
Good evening, Jackson parents, students, and staff,
This Friday, September 10, we will be having individual picture day for students. All students should have gotten a picture packet, if not they can get one outside of the main office. Any students that are doing virtual or distance learning may come any time after 8:30 to have their picture taken. We will have an additional day later on for make-ups.
Thank you and have a great evening…Go Generals!

Thanks for helping us collect this important information!
Good evening, Jackson parents, students, and staff;
This is Mr. Kisner with a few announcements for tomorrow. First, all students will report to Developmental Guidance tomorrow morning. Our 7th and 8th graders will be going to the STEAM Academy starting tomorrow, and all students will be taking the Math benchmark assessment tomorrow. At the end of the day, all students will get to hear about our various clubs here at Jackson.
I also want to mention that the PTO Spirit wear orders are due tomorrow. Please make sure you turn in any orders by tomorrow so that the PTO can place spirit wear orders in a timely manner!
Finally, our Blessings of Hope Food program will once again be offering a supply of nutritious meals and snacks for children needing food over the weekends. If you believe your child needs additional food and could benefit from this program, we encourage you to contact Mrs. McDonald or Ms. George. Your student will then bring home a form that we simply need filled out and brought back.
I hope you all have a great evening, Go Generals!
Tonight, the Wood County Board of Education voted to require face coverings for all students and staff while indoors and on buses beginning tomorrow, August 31, 2021.
Please read the article and guidelines at https://tinyurl.com/ye3dqy72
All students will report to developmental guidance after they go to their lockers in the morning. Please have your IPad charged as we will all be taking the IReady Benchmark in ELA. Students will stay in DG until 9:50, after testing they may read a book or work on IReady. We will then run a 2 hr delay schedule. Do your beat tomorrow, Go Generals!
Good afternoon Jackson parents, students, and staff,
It was great getting students back into the classrooms and starting the school year! I would like to mention a few items as we begin our first full week of school. First, thank you to everyone that has returned their Acceptable Use policy! We will be getting IPads out to students as soon as these forms are completed and information verified. If your student has not turned in an AUP, please do this as soon as possible. Also, we need to have everyone turn in their pink health form with updated information. This allows us to get the correct information in the system.
Also, please remember the building does not open until 7:30AM for students to enter. Staff do not arrive to let students in until this time, therefore students cannot come into the building until then. Please remember when weather changes, students will still have to wait until this time for staff to enter the building at 7:30.
The last thing I would like to mention is 4th block. This is lunch, intramurals, and developmental guidance. Students should plan on putting books and iPads in their lockers during this block. They will need IPads only for developmental guidance and can easily go to their locker between these three areas. Students shouldn’t take any books to intramurals or lunch. If a student needs homework help, they can go during intramurals. They just need to report to room 17 in the 6th grade hallway.
I hope you have a great evening and Go Generals!
