Page Jackson Elementary School

Jefferson County Schools extends our appreciation to Mr. Justin P. Brown, Sr. for his service as an interim member of the Jefferson County Board of Education. Earlier this year, Mr. Brown applied and was selected in a competitive application process to serve Jefferson County students at a critical time. His dedication, thoughtful decision-making, and calm, steady leadership have been greatly appreciated in helping move our school system forward.

What a year it has been! Your children have grown so much this year. Tomorrow is the last day for students. Yearbooks: We have a few yearbooks left- they are $20 cash. Send in money in an envelope marked Ms. Hazy. School Safety: You should have received the attached picture in paper form. Have a great summer!

Jefferson County School stands in solidarity with the families, children, educators, and communities in Uvalde, Texas, in the wake of the tragic events of May 24th, 2022. There are no words that can restore what has been taken, not only from those individuals but from all of us. Everyone at Jefferson Schools is here for the community as we support our children together. You can find a list of resources on speaking to children about this difficult topic following this link: https://bit.ly/39SwBoW. We will also have counseling staff available for any of our students or staff who need that support. Please join us as we continue our end-of-year student celebrations and honors while remaining mindful of the impacted communities and our solemn responsibility for the safety and wellbeing of our children.

Field Day at PJES is tomorrow, May 20th. Just a couple reminders... 1. Cool loose clothing and appropriate sneakers. 2. Bring a towel, put on sunscreen we cannot put sunscreen on students, bring water and we will have breaks. 3. There will be no parents eating with students tomorrow as students will be eating in classrooms. We can't wait to have a fun day tomorrow. Thanks to all our parent volunteers. We look forward to seeing you.

MAY 6, 2022: Page Jackson Elementary School, the Martin Robison Delany Opportunity Learning Center (OLC), and the JCS Central Office are experiencing a power outage. The incident has not compromised student safety at any location; however, the telephones are inoperable. Students have been moved to centralized locations in an abundance of caution. Telephone services have also been disrupted at Blue Ridge Elementary School, but there is no power outage at that location. All dismissals will continue on schedule. Thank you for your patience as we maintain the safety of our students and staff.

Looking ahead at PJES: May 2-6 Book Fair May 5- Book Fair Friends and Family Night from 4:30-7:30 Yearbooks: We have extra yearbooks. They are $20 cash. Money needs to be sent in an envelope marked- Ms. Hazy.

PJES Families, Dates for this Week: Tomorrow, 4/26- Mountaineer Food Bank Mobile Pantry- see picture for more details. Saturday, 4/30: Last day to order field day shirts. https://www.zeroinsports.com/pjes/fieldday/ (Links to an external site.) Order deadline is April 30th. When placing the order, please make sure your child's first and last name are entered. Also, at the end before final payment you should select local delivery instead of shipping so you will not be charged shipping. (There is a blue check mark that says "ship to my billing address". They need to uncheck that box.) These are the same shirts as last year, so students/staff who already have them don't have to re-buy new shirts. There is no year on them for this reason. If you have any questions please contact Mrs. Blizzard. (kelly.blizzard@k12.wv.us)
