Principal's Welcome

Dear Jackson Park Parents and Caregivers,

Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year! I hope you and your family had a wonderful summer filled with memorable moments and relaxation.

Our top priority at Jackson Park Elementary School is captured in our mission statement: We Put Our Heart Into All We Do! Our school-wide theme this year is in alignment with that mission.

Working together, there is no limit to what we and our children can achieve this school year. We need your support. In order for school to be a place for children to learn and grow, it is essential to create an environment of mutual respect. We want school to be:

  • A place to experience the excitement of learning

  • A place where the students, parents and school staff form a partnership.

 

Communication between school and home is essential for fostering a supportive learning environment.

Principal Triplett

We encourage you to stay informed and involved by regularly checking our school website, checking emails from the school, attending parent-teacher conferences, and participating in school events. 

This is the beginning of a great school year!

Your partner in education,

Mr. Jim Triplett
Principal
