  • Welcome to Jackson Middle School

    6/28/2018
    Welcome to Jackson Middle School. It is a pleasure and an honor to have the opportunity to share with you all that makes Jackson a fantastic place for our middle schoolers. With an amazing teaching staff, Jackson's teachers deeply understand the middle schooler and work together, with parents, as a community! As a Bernstein School of Artful Learning, we understand that middle school is not just about reading, writing, and math but also about nurturing the adolescent and preparing them for high school and the world beyond. A rich dynamic elective program balances our core instruction with art integration at every turn, providing students with experiences and opportunities in inquiry, exploration, reflection, and creation.

  • Jackson's Communication Tools

    8/27/2017
    Dear Jackson Families,
    As we quickly approach the start of the 2017-18 school year, I wanted to remind our families of the many tools we use to communicate with parents and community. It is possible you are already aware and a member of our various channels but in case you are not, follow each link to subscribe.
    "School Messenger" - It is through School Messenger that you are receiving this email. This service uses our student enrollment database to email all parent emails. We use School Messenger just a handful of times each year for messages that are urgent or of high importance. School Messenger also has a text message feature that you _must_ opt in to. The first step is to make sure your cell number is registered on your student's enrollment record. From that phone, text "YES" to 68453. This will be followed by a response text of "You're registered 4 SchoolMessenger...".
    "The JagWire Email List" - This opt-in email list is home to the "JagWire" email newsletter and the PTA news. Subscribers can expect to receive 1 to 3 emails a week regarding pertinent, just-in-time, and event information from the Jackson Office. To subscribe go to the school website at http://jacksonpps.net and click on "JagWire News" under "Quick Links".

  • Key date for immunizations is coming up

    2/11/2019
    Español| Tiếng Việt| 中文| Русский| Soomaali

    The recent outbreak of measles serves as a reminder about immunizations, with an important deadline coming up.

    Students in Portland Public Schools who have not gotten all of their required immunizations face a Wednesday, Feb. 20 deadline. That is the “exclusion date” set by the state for 2019, when any student who is not fully immunized may be barred from attending classes or district-provided child care.
