Jackson County School District

This week in pre-K we have been learning about the many types of transportation that is used to take people from one place to another. We are learning that transportation can be categorized by land, air, and water. One of our practice centers was a parking garage. They have enjoyed driving their vehicles into their parking garage. In math this week our focus is identifying pattern cores. We are working on more complex patterns with three and four part pattern cores.

Opioid overdoses are on the rise, and our district is very fortunate to receive these boxes. JCSD staff will be trained to look for signs of overdose, and how to use the contents of the "purple box". Pictured are AFMC rep Jerry Rushing, THS Counselor Michael Smith, JCSD Nurse Stacy Bright & NEA Divine Intervention Rep Nicole Hanners.
