Yesterday, Mrs. Pace's class paraded around the campus sharing what they learned while reading the book "Aunt Jessie's Hats"
Last Friday our Family Advocates presented a parent training, "Healthy Eating on a Budget." Congratulations to all of our door prize winners.
Just a reminder that Friday is our Healthy Eating on a Budget and Parenting Training at TRJ. Join us at 8:00 a.m. for cooking demonstrations, food tasting, and an interactive parenting training with our Guidance Counselor, Stacey Price.
TRJ would like to congratulate our Teacher of the Year, Sharon Benware, and School Related Employee of the Year, Candace Nall.
Our annual Healthy Eating on a Budget is being hosted by our family advocates next Friday, October 3, starting at 8:00 a.m. They will be sharing recipes, doing cooking demonstrations, and sharing samples of the dishes prepared. While the food cooks, Mrs. Price our Guidance Counselor will give a parent training on having meaningful conversations with young children. This activity is open to all parents/guardians of TR Jackson and Head Start students in the district.
Dads Take Your Child to School Day is this Friday, September 26. Last week we sent home rock painting kits and encouraged dads, uncles, grands, or other men engaged in your child's life to paint the rock with their child. On Friday, we encourage dads to bring their child to school to deliver the painted rock to be added to our Men Rock Rock Garden. We will have four stations at the parking lot to turn rocks into and get a picture of dads with their children. This important day on the calendars of many schools across the US is to remind dads of the important role they have in the academic success of their child's future. We look forward to seeing many dads holding the hands of their children and signing them into class.
Wow! I can’t believe it is already September! The last few weeks of August sure have been exciting! The children are starting to settle into their routines and have made several new friends! During the first few weeks, your child has participated in a fire drill, lockdown drill, learned the rules and procedures in the classroom, and our three and four-year-olds have visited our STEAM classroom. Very soon, they will be able to also play in the outside classrooms. So many things to learn!!
I would like to thank everyone who has volunteered to be classroom representatives, Policy Council and School Advisory (SAC) members, and to those parents who have already completed their volunteer forms. If you would like to volunteer, it’s not too late! Stop by the front office or give us a call for more information.
I hope you and your child have enjoyed the first few weeks of school and we look forward to having a great year!

If your child is registered for and attending the Community Schools Extended Day program at TR Jackson, please park in the front parking lot of the school, walk down the first classroom hallway to the double doors of the cafeteria. Staff will greet you at the door.
Tomorrow we welcome our Head Start and VPK students to TR Jackson Pre-k Center. Due to construction continuing on our cafeteria, parking is very limited. Please limit the number of vehicles you bring to the school for the first day. Be patient and follow parking lot staff direction. And remember at TRJ We're Happy All Day!
Tomorrow we welcome our Pre-K ESE and Early Head Start Students. Head Start classes begin on Thursday, August 14.
Your child is tardy if they are not inside the classroom by 7:45 a.m. If you are not in your child's class when the bell rings, you will need to go to the office with your child to check them in before going to the classroom. Be a HERO- Hear Everyday Ready and On Time.
