Dear Viking Parents/Guardians: We would like to welcome you to our 2020-21 school year! I am Mrs. Monica Pierce, your proud Principal for Instruction. Although last year our face to face learning was shortened, we were able to provide students with an array of extracurricular opportunities during their time with us: Junior Achievement Career Day (preparing our students for the workforce) After School Tutoring/Athletic Study tables (creating a culture of academic excellence) Thanksgiving Giving (bringing our community together) Sources of Strength (supporting mental health and wellness for staff/ students) Jackson College Multicultural Leadership (creating lifelong learning) Community Closet (providing food, clothing, hygiene items, etc) ...and many more... At Jackson High School we know that it is imperative that we take care of the whole child and as we transition to a new school year, we will ensure that all students are afforded the opportunity to succeed in all aspects of their education. We are excited to welcome you all back to school and let you know what this year will look like. For the upcoming school year, JPS will be using the “Flipped Classroom” model for instruction. Students will be provided with technology to take home every day. Y5-2 will receive an iPad and grades 3-12 will receive a Chromebook. Instruction will be provided five days a week online. Two days a week, students will receive in-person individual instruction with their subject area teachers and in small groups to reach mastery. This provides JPS with the flexibility to meet the individual needs of students, to step forward into a full-time face-to-face as well as a step backward into a full-time at-home instruction as directed by State and local officials. This model will begin on August 25, 2020 and means that your child will attend school a total of two, six-hour days with the remaining learning at home via online learning.

Our teachers planned for this possibility and are fully prepared to support students as they move successfully to this new learning model.
