Principal's Welcome

Dear Jackson Park Parents and Caregivers,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! I hope you and your family had a wonderful summer filled with memorable moments and relaxation. As we embark on this new academic journey, I want to extend a warm welcome to all our returning families and a special greeting to those joining our school community for the first time. The school-wide theme for this year is "U Belong Here! ❤️" 

Our dedicated Jackson Park staff has been working hard to prepare for an exciting and successful year. As stated in our school's mission, at Jackson Park "we put our heart into everything we do. "We are committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where every student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. In addition to the academic curriculum, this school year we will begin the school-wide implementation of the Caring School Community social-emotional learning curriculum. You will also begin to see some physical changes around the school this year as we begin with the Phase 1 projects using the funds from the Prop U zero tax rate increase bond issue that was passed in April 2024, including a new school playground. As always, our goal is to partner with you to ensure that your child(ren) has the best possible educational experience and through our day-to-day interactions with all stakeholders you should know and feel that "U Belong Here! ❤️" 

 

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. Please feel free to reach out to your child’s teachers or our leadership team if you have any questions or concerns. "U Belong Here! ❤️"

We look forward to a fantastic school year filled with growth, learning, and academic success. Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our school community. "U Belong Here! ❤️"
