Parents are important part of the education process at Jackson. When parents are meaningfully involved in their children’s education, children achieve at a higher level and have a more positive attitude toward school.

Volunteering
Volunteers enable us to expand our educational programs as well as to allow for greater individual attention. Volunteers work at Jackson School on a daily basis. There are many areas in which we need volunteer help:
- library
- classroom (We would like to have a room parent volunteer for each classroom.)
- field trips
- art room
- special PTO activities
Throughout the year you will be given the opportunity to help. Contact your child’s teacher or the school office if there is something you would like to do for us. WE NEED YOU!
