The Student Council is composed of 4th- and 5th-grade students, whose primary role is to organize, plan, and coordinate school fundraising events, school functions, and special school activities. Students in 4th grade are able to serve as class representatives. Students in 5th grade have the opportunity to serve as class representatives or run for positions such as president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and media specialist. Meetings are held twice a month during the students' lunchtime.
This event is held at the end of August to welcome new families to school and welcome back those who are returning. It is a good way to touch base with teachers and staff and to bring in school supplies to "lighten the backpack" for the first day of school. Busing information is also available.
KidStop Childcare is designed for children in kindergarten through fifth grade. The KidStop community partnership meets the needs of families by providing a safe and affordable place for students before and after school. At Jackson Elementary, before- and after-school childcare is provided by the Recreation Department. Registration for KidStop is open throughout the school year and can be done online here or by contacting the Recreation Department at 920-459-3773.
What is PBIS?
PBIS stands for Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports. PBIS is about teaching and promoting safe, respectful, and responsible behaviors. Students are recognized for making positive choices that follow our school expectations. When students do not follow expectations, they are re-taught the appropriate behavior and, when necessary, are given an Office Discipline Referral (ODR).
Youth-Tutoring-Youth is a program that provides high school students with an opportunity to give direct tutoring assistance to elementary classrooms under the guidance of a supervising and coordinating teacher. Tutoring occurs in one-on-one, small-group, or whole-group settings. High School students typically work with students for one semester.

At Jackson School, we traditionally celebrate the end of the school year with an outdoor picnic on the school's lawn. Students and staff are encouraged to bring large blankets to sit on while enjoying their lunch, music, and other fun activities. This event is generally held on the last day of the school year, and families are welcome to join their child's class during the lunch hour.
Each October, Jackson School has a "Scare the Halls" Halloween Parade at the end of the day on Halloween. It has become a fun tradition of togetherness and "scariness." Music is played as the classrooms parade through the halls. Parents are invited to this event.
Jackon's Got Talent! All 3rd-, 4th-, and 5th-grade students are invited to showcase their special talents during the end-of-year talent show. Acts can include singing, dancing, reading a poem, playing an instrument, telling jokes, or juggling... to name a few. Families are invited to attend this special program.
The Jackson staff hosts a Book Fair each fall. The fair is held in conjunction with the fall parent-teacher conference dates in November. Students are able to 'window shop' during their class library time during the week leading up to the conferences. All sales are handled during conference hours only.
This family event is held at the end of September and features lots of fun, food, and fantastic prizes. Be sure to stop for a burger, brat, or other tasty treat! Try your arm at the dunk tank or spend some time in the bounce house. Of course, there will be raffle items and a cake walk as well!
Many great Raffle Prizes donated by generous local businesses!
All Jackson families and friends are invited to join us in the annual Color Run. This 2-mile run/walk is held at Jackson School as a way to showcase the hard work and dedication of our athletes participating in the Runners' Club, while also raising money for our MakerSpace.

At Jackson School, we celebrate Grandparents' Day in early September. Grandparents are invited to enjoy a continental breakfast and social time with their grandchild in our cafeteria. After breakfast, they can complete a scavenger hunt of the school, stop and read books in the library, visit classrooms, and play “Name That Tune” with their grandchild during the morning announcements at 8:45 am.
Please feel free to contact the school office with any questions or for additional information.
At this event, each student will be entered in one running event and one field event. All the events will take place before lunch. An obstacle course is scheduled to follow lunch. The boys' and girls' events will be held separately, with the boys competing in the running events first and the girls competing in the field events first. Each student will choose his/her running and field event for the day from the list below. Students have been introduced to various running and field events during physical education class, so hopefully, each student will find an event in which they enjoy and can excel. Ribbons will be awarded to the top ten finishers in each event, and every participant will receive a certificate of participation.
This day is meant to be one of fun, excitement, and good sportsmanship! The events are run by current and former Sheboygan Area School District employees, as well as students from North and South High Schools. Remember that a true sportsman will always congratulate their competitor, whether they win or lose. We hope to see a lot of handshaking and high-fives, not only among friends and classmates, but also opponents.
Our Fifth-Grade Recognition ceremony is held each year to honor and recognize our 5th-grade students as they complete their elementary school careers and wish them well on their new adventure—middle school! Refreshments will be served after the program, so plan to stay and share some memories of Jackson and enjoy time with family and friends.
