News & Announcements

The Jackson County School District utilized a survey to request feedback from its stakeholders on the use of funds for the American Rescue Plan. Activities were developed in District Leadership Meetings for the stakeholders to provide feedback on with the opportunity to add to the list.

Please complete the following survey to provide input on the use of American Rescue Plan funds. This survey will take about 10 minutes.

The survey will be open until November 15, 2021.

We had all hoped we would begin this year with a more normal start. Unfortunately, with the recent rise in COVID, that is not going to be the case this year. With that in mind, the following decisions have been made:

• Open Houses will continue as planned. Please SOCIAL DISTANCE while on the campus and, especially if not vaccinated, we HIGHLY ENCOURAGE the wearing of masks.

• For now, school campuses will be closed to all but essential visitors as was last year. We understand how important it is for many parents to take their child the first day of school and we will not limit parents from coming, however, after this, visitors will only be allowed for essential meetings. We apologize for not being able to open our schools to visitors and volunteers at this time. We hope in the weeks or months ahead we will be able to relax this but we feel it is important to try to limit contact as best as possible during these first few weeks and until COVID is on the decline again.
