Good evening parents, students, and staff. This is Mr. Kisner with a few announcements. First, a reminder that this Friday, Oct. 20, is fall sports pictures and picture retakes! I also want to remind everyone that last week we sent home information on Parent/Teacher conferences. If you would like to schedule a conference, you should return the provided document or contact your student teacher for a time. Conferences will be held next Thursday, October 26.
Tomorrow, Jackson Park Drive beside the pool area will be closed down to one lane of traffic. Please make arrangements for this. Also, parents if you could remind your student to not carry their IPad inside a three-ring binder. If you do this, you could possibly damage the IPad. I hope you all have a great evening and Go Generals!
Good evening Jackson parents, students, and staff. This is Mr. Kisner with a quick announcement concerning traffic around the school for tomorrow, October 9. Jackson Park Drive will be closed as they will be putting in a gas line for the pool that will have to cross the road.
Again, this will cause issues in the traffic pattern around the school. They are hoping to have it done and the road back open in one day.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation. Go Generals!
Next week we will be helping out our local community food bank! Go Generals!
Good afternoon, this is Mr. Kisner with an important message concerning the traffic pattern around Jackson Middle School for next week. On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday; Jackson Park Drive will be closed partially due to construction at the pool area. Please note that if you generally drop off in the area of the tennis courts or pool, that area will not be available. Please also know if you come over the hill from Rosemar Road that you should find an alternate route.
Please also try to understand that with this detour, the traffic congestion on 34th Street will be very high. It may be best to exit along 15th Ave. toward 28th Street to help with traffic flow.
Again, this will make traffic highly congested Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. WCS transportation is also aware of this and will be using alternate routes to the school. Have a great evening and Go Generals!

*Student Test Scores*
In spring 2023, students in Grades 3 through 8 took the General Summative Assessment and students in Grade 11 took the SAT School Day assessment.
On Tuesday, September 12, students will receive a printed copy of their individual student score report which will contain information regarding each student's performance on the tested areas. To further assist parents/guardians in understanding their child's performance on the WVGSA or the SAT School Day, the West Virginia Department of Education is providing an individual video score report for each student in addition to the printed report..
A link to your child's individual video score report will be sent to your child's K12 student email address on September 12th. Please work with your student to access the link in the email. When you click on the link, you will be taken to a site where you will need to enter your child's date of birth to access the video report. Resources are also available at that site to help your student.
If you need assistance in locating the video score report link, or if you do not know your child's K12 email address or password, you may contact your child's school, or contact Cathy Grewe at the Wood County Schools Board Office at 304-420-9663 Extension 122.
