General Parent Guidelines

In order to establish a safe, positive environment, we ask that you observe the following guidelines:

• When enrolling your child, please have the following documentation; The Student's Birth Certificate, a Housing Letter, a current Shot Record and a copy of the Sponsor's Orders. Having this documentation with you will expedite the process of enrolling your child.
• When you arrive in the school building, you will be required to check in at the front desk. We will issue you a badge and ask that you leave your car keys with us. The Fort Campbell School System requires everyone in the building to wear an official badge in order to ensure the safety of all.
• If your child arrives l ate, please come to the front desk and sign them in.
• When your student is dismissed early for an appointment, please come to the front desk and sign them out. We will call them to the fron office.
• When you are PCSing, please let the office know a week in advace so that the appropriate records will be available for you to hand carry to your new school.
• Parking along the curb is prohibited by the P's due to it being a fire lane.
• Parents are always welcome at Jackson Elemenatary! In order to protect the teaching and learning environment however, we ask for your complete cooperation with the following procedures. Parents will not be allowed to make unannounced visits to a classroom. If you would like to visit your child's classroom, please call and let us know (24 hours ahead, if possible). If you have a question of concern, please make an appointment so the teacher can give the issue the attention it deserves versus interrupting instruction.
• Please do not use our school as a means to give invitations to parties for various celebrations during the year.
• Anything that interferes with instruction is inappropriate in school. This policy applies to toys, MP3 or CD players, electronic divices and other articles that may divert attention from instruction. These items disrupt classes, interfere with work, and become a problem when misplaced. The school assumes no responsibility for prohibited items that are lost at school. If a student does bring such item, the items may be turned into the school office and parents will be notified. Exceptions may be permitted with advance teacher permission for special occasions.
• If you require your child to have a cell phone, you must have approval from Dr. Butler or Ms. Halley for the child to have the phone in the building. The phone must be truned off during the course of the school day. This includes recess, lunch, etc. If anytime your child's cell phone disrupts classes, interferes with instruction or assessments, or becomes a problem, the student will be asked to leave the cell phone at home.
• If you must change your child's transportation arrangements, you must call the school by 2:00. This will give us sufficient time to relay the message to your child's teacher.

We are looking forward to providing a warm, supportive and creative environment where childrenn feel safe to venture and strive for excellence!
