We enjoyed seeing everyone Wednesday in honor of our first quarter awards assembly. The students truly enjoyed our first behavior incentive for the first quarter, a hay ride around Page Jackson! We can't wait to celebrate many more milestones with your children.
Thank you to all who participated in our Red Ribbon Week reinforcing healthy choices for our bodies. Thank you Mrs. DuVal for coordinating this event.
Don't forget to fall back with your clocks this Sunday! The time will change by gaining one hour. This can be a difficult sleep transition for our students. Make plans now on how to adjust!

Page Jackson Elementary School Celebrates the Importance of Attendance
At Page Jackson Elementary School, we believe that every Panda matters, every school day counts, and every moment is an opportunity to learn and grow! We love seeing our hallways filled with smiling faces, hearing laughter in our classrooms, and watching our students arrive ready for another exciting day of learning.
Today was an extra special day at Page Jackson Elementary School! We had not one, but TWO very special Pandas visit our school! 🐼🐼 Our special visitors helped bring excitement, smiles, and Panda pride to our students while reminding everyone just how important it is to come to school each day!
Our Pandas were excited to see these special guests, and their visit was a wonderful way to celebrate the importance of showing up, being ready to learn, and making every school day count!
Why Is Attendance So Important?
Regular school attendance plays a major role in a child's educational success. Every day students attend school is another opportunity to learn something new, build friendships, develop confidence, and create lasting memories.
When students are at school consistently, they strengthen their reading, writing, and math skills while building important relationships with their teachers and classmates.
Did you know that missing just two days of school each month can add up to nearly 20 missed days throughout the school year? That's a lot of valuable learning time!
Celebrating Our Pandas!
At Page Jackson, we want every student to know how excited we are to see them walk through our doors each morning! Whether they arrive with a big smile, a sleepy wave, or a backpack full of excitement, each Panda brings something special to our school.
Today's visit from our two special Pandas was a fun reminder that school is a place where learning, friendships, and exciting surprises happen!
We want our students to look forward to coming to school and know that their presence makes a difference.
Families Make the Difference!
Our Panda families play an important role in helping students develop positive attendance habits. Establishing consistent routines, getting plenty of rest, and encouraging a positive attitude toward school can make a big difference.
We understand that illnesses, appointments, and unexpected situations happen. We appreciate our families for making attendance a priority whenever possible and helping our students arrive ready to learn.
Together, We Make Every Day Count!
At Page Jackson Elementary School, we are more than just a school — we are a Panda family! Every student matters, every classroom matters, and every school day is filled with opportunities.
A huge thank-you to our TWO special Panda visitors for helping us spread smiles, excitement, and the important message that attendance matters!
Let's keep showing up, working hard, supporting one another, and making wonderful memories together!
🐼 Be Here. Be Ready. Be a Proud Panda!
Because when our Pandas show up, amazing things happen!
Page Jackson Elementary School — Where Every Panda Belongs and Every Day Counts!

We had an amazing week full of learning. I enjoyed seeing Kindergarten starting to recognize familiar sounds that our alphabet letters make, in first grade students were actively learning the fundamentals of writing legibly and accurately, in second grade I saw students practicing sentence writing with familiar spelling patterns ensuring correct punctuation and capitalization! It is hard to believe we are ending October, I do feel like I blinked and it was over. The upcoming week, our final week of October is a very busy one as we celebrate the end of the first quarter and recognize healthy choices during Red Ribbon Week!
Thank you to all parents who supported our Chestnut Candle Fundraiser. We earned a lot of money that will be used to support instructional initiatives at Page Jackson!

We had a great time on Thursday celebrating Attendance in our Schools month. The students earned a water balloon for each week they were here for the full day and got to throw them at staff. Coming in October is our "Surprise Attendance Day." Random days this month the students will be greeted by our mascot and given a reward. Not all students will be chosen each day, they will be chosen at random as they enter school. We also are celebrating our quarterly attendance this month with a special Leaders Lunch, where students who had perfect attendance the first quarter will sit at a special table with Mrs. Shaffer and Ms. Hazy. Keep coming to school to learn each day!

What an amazing week as we are starting to wrap up our color weeks for Kindergarten. So many fun things coming up during the fall at Page Jackson! Below are some highlights!
Have you joined the school store fundraiser? We sent paperwork home and it is so easy, just share with family and friends and they can donate gift cards throughout the school year. Teachers are so grateful for your support! You can also donate to our ECCATs under the teacher name you can specify who you are donating to.
Our Fall Festival and Trunk or Treat will be on Friday, October 16th. Please donate fall items to create a basket for our raffle. The proceeds will benefit our PTVO which directly benefit instruction.
Our candle fundraiser is launching. I love Chestnut Hill Candles. These fundraisers are optional, but all proceeds come back into the school!
We have been practicing our Standard Response Protocol. While these are practice drills, we encourage you to discuss these drills with your children!
Want to Volunteer? There are three opportunities for you. The first was today at 9:30 a.m. at Page Jackson at 9:30 a.m. You only have to complete this training one time while you are at Page, but you must complete the training in order to volunteer. If you completed training you should have received a packet to fill out and do not need to attend in person or online.
The next trainings will be on Thursday, September 24 in person at 5 p.m. and on Friday, October 2 at 11 a.m. via Teams we will send out a link as we get closer.
A HUGE THANK YOU TO OUR K KIDS AND FAMILIES FOR PARTICIPATING IN OUR DAY OF CARING. YOUR HARD WORK DID NOT GO UNNOTICED.
Have a great weekend and see you on Monday!
I hope you had a wonderful week! We kicked off our I Ready testing in first and second grade to gather data on how to ensure your child is getting exactly what they need in Reading, Writing, and Math. We will be using this data to inform instructional decisions. While this data is integral in planning. so is our day to day observation and formative assessments that guide your child's learning path. Look for more information on I ready at our first parent teacher conference night in October.
I cannot believe we have made it through the first 4.5 weeks of school. Today a letter came home in lieu of a progress report to let you know what we have been learning at the beginning of school. In primary grades we do not send home a progress report the first quarter.

In week three, we will continue reinforcing our school expectations, Pandas have P.A.W.S. We will begin assigning consequences for when students do not adhere to these expectations. We have a positive not punitive approach to our consequences.
You should receive a paper with our attendance motto "Strive for Less than 5." On the paper is our text line that directly connects you to Attendance Pro. This is the platform to upload doctor's notes and communicate with our attendance clerk, Ms. Teresa.
You are allotted 5 parent notes each semester. It is important we have students here daily and on time. Have attendance questions? E mail Ms. Teresa or call our front office.
